 About eight hundred miles out on the Atlanti ocean aboard the French steamship, Patria, Aug. 18th, 1920.
 Mir. Emory D. Miller,
 Editor THE BORDER VIDETTE,
 Nogales, Arizona, U. s. A. My dear MT. Miller:-
 Greetings. I promised you a letter before I left Nogales, but truly I had not a moment to spare before I sailed. And since sailing I have been enjoying spells of sea sickness; one day we'll and about three days ill, is the proportion.
 This morning we are sailing near the Portugal coast in 8 dense fog, the first we have eX. perienced. Many of our ladies are nervous over the frequent sound ing of the fog horns. I have not felt the slightest fear tho I expected to feel frozen with fear every foot of the way. l find l am quite lion because l am the only one of our party who has been a member of the Legis lature. Almost all of the women are charming. We have young and old in the party. Women from California, Wyoming, Mon tana, Mrs. Duesenberry of Utah, who is a sister of Senator Reed Shoot, myself from dear Ari- zona, two from Oklahoma, one from North Dakota, Minnesota. Wisconsin. Missouri, Illinois and Indiana, Michigan, and the well known Mrs. Altman, wife of Judge Samuel R. Artman of h. dianapolis, members from Mas sachusetts, Kentucky, North Carolina, New York and Virgi- mia and West Virginia; yes, and Connecticut and Mississippi. 1 do not recall all, and all are more or less prominent.
 The gong has just sounded for lunch and as I did not get up to breakfast, I think I will go now. See you later.
 Since lunch I have taken sev- eral turns around the deck and listened to single tax lecture.
 We are all tired of the food. Always have sour rye bread. The meats are very good, but the vegetables are so highly seasoned we find it difficult to determine what they are. But we have fresh fruits daily and nuts with such good raisins and wine. Almost everybody drinks wine. The water is not fit to drink. Bnt oh do wish I could taste some of Sofas faky bis cults.
 Yesterday we saw sea gulls with pink lined wings, and this morning early sighted the shores of Portugal. Several days ago we got a wireless that Villa had surrendered. I trust it is true.
 I took Georgia and Elizabeth to Washington, D. C., and left them with my sister Mrs. Mallie Cooper. 1 had to leave my sis ter Mrs. Dessart there too, very ill. I do not know that she will be there to welcome me upon my return from Europe, but she urged me not to overlook the opportunity of going with this body of representative women, who are going to attend the In ternational Council of Women, at Christiana. Norway, where ques- tions of importance to the civil ized world will be discussed, and so 1 am putting personal things aside even to giving up the race for the State Senate. However, I hope you all will want me to run for the Senate in 1922, and if you do. I promise 1 will allow nothing to prevent me making the race.
 Do you wonder if the weather has been rough. We'll, we left New York harbor in a storm and the first night out was rough, then for two days the weather was calm, not a white cap to be seen; but it was getting too warm so we had to insist on a good breeze, and when we got O11r, wish of on0rSQ thp IUatnr
