Dear Mrs. Gannett
I have just received
your good news letter - - It is splendid that the man contributed the [$2000?] and make a "Helen Barrett Montgomery" scholarship. I [hope?] she won't call it a "Mrs W. S. Montgomery" [scholarship?]. [Keen is my hope and wish for that one!] - Now I wish there were 25 other men who would give $2000 - and make 25 scholarships - that is, raise the original sum of $100,000 - it would be most magnificent - wouldn't it? Why won't the stars come forth - & make us free !!
The Council & Congress have gone off
