His Hon. Governor Bickett,
Raleigh, N.C.
My Dear Governor;
I have read with much pleasure this extract from your speach. I think it so grand in you to have such care for us poor suffering women. I write to thank you for the same, and to notify you, as you say, “on the quiet.” I am one of that no. of women spoken of in this clipping. You will understand the rest. My husband’s name is Albert Stanley, Beaufort, N.C. I think he is placed in class five. I will thank you for what ever you do in my behalf. And will continue to pray God’s blessing upon you and yours. If you could only know!
Humbly yours
