 It is my very unpleasant duty to correct the statements in a leaflet to you from your president general, Ms. Lizzie George Henderson in regard to the "Message' from the Southern In- dustrial Educational Association, ask ing the aid and cooperation of the Daughters In our movement to better the educational conditions of the H. literate whites in our Southland.
 Being the leader of this movement backed by a Board of Trustees whose names are sufficient endorsement for any one or for any cause. it is not likely that I would have to formulate statements to "misEead the U. D. C., In the first place, I was not aware that any "approvaI' was necessary for sending out tender loving appeal to the Daughters of the Confederacy to aid us in our canse.

 In her official" letter to Mrs. Tender son, the recording secretary continCes: "As matter of fact, Mrs. Gielow was under the impression when she left the meeting that we had gone in as an auxiliary for this reason; she had in her address begged us to go in as an auxiliary, and stated that the Stone wall Chapter had gone in as an auAil- iary. and the statement was not con- tradicted. When Mrs Covington made her motion I said to her you must send 1t up iE writing, and l think Mrs. Gielow offered to do it sor her. Never theless found among my minutes the following motion not signed and in A handwriting I do not know: The State Division of the District of Co., Iumbia Division after hearing the mes- sage of Mrs. Gielow, president general of the Southern Industrial Educational ssociation for the illiterate whites of the South. made the motion to come in as the first State Auxiliary to the Southern Industrial Educational As- sociation."

 I mentioned their names as L tribute to their response to the Cause not deeming any approval necessary but the approval of my own coniscience as to the right to appeal for our Cause.
 In reference the assertion that I "misunderstood the action of the Dis trict of Columbia Division U. D. C." i shall merely quote from copy of a letter to Mrs. Henderson written from the Recording Secretary of the D, of C., Division written May 18th. 1906. in reply to her (Mrs. NI's.) request for the minutes of the Division in regard to their action: q feel quite sure that Mrs. Gielow had every reason, when she had those circuiats printed, to think that she WIS perfectly justified in saying We had gone in as an auxilia- " and but for Mrs. ----- and Mrs --would havo willingly admit ted themselves as an auxiliary to the Southern Industrial Educational Asso- ciation. great many of the U.

the property in this way. We have tried
very often to buy 80 or 100 acres in this
Immediate neighborhood without success.
and from the demand we have for proper
ty in this neighborhood we know that east
