Dear Miss
Your letter of May 2 is received. Owing to the meeting at Baltimore on the 19th I do not think it possible to get up a meeting at your place till after that time. I have spoken to Mr McComas and he will get speakers for you any time you select after that date. Please write to him at Balto. and also to me. I would like to have a meeting at Darlington the next day after yours if possible.
Yours Truly
