My dear Miss Addams:
Will you be kind enough to send me as soon as you possibly can a photograph of yourself? And, if you have time, will you add to it a statement, just a sentence will do, telling that you heartily favor suffrage?
I want it for the "Enquirer" here for next Sunday and I expect to use <with> it other prominent and national suffragists.
The antis here have been using your name and word to prove that conditions for women and children are better in anti-suffrage states than in suffrage states. There is positively no deceit they will not resort to. So you see one reason for my particularly wanting [page 2] your picture.
I do so wish you could come here. Cincinnati needs you more the last week in August than probably any other spot on earth.
We will need to have the picture by Thursday morning in order to get into the paper Sunday.
We are terrible serious, and I, for my part, rather hopeless though I do not say so here.
Gratefully and sincerely
(Miss) Mary MacMillan,
Press Chairman Woman Suffrage Party.
