On March I was on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. near the corner Of 9th street viewing
the suffrage parade. Your boys were
endeavoring to hold back the crowd of
spectators who were interfering with the
marehers. They were trying hard to keep
the avenue clear in order that the pa
rade might go along without trouble. /
think they deserve great praise for the
work they did on that day.

work proved to be great. help to the
sick and to the well. They not only
helped me, but many Others. / am sure
they deserve great credit and praise for
their work. I hope you will extend my
thanks and best wishes TO all Of your
