Hon. Frank B. Kellogg,
United States Senator,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
I have earned my own living since I was eighteen, can read and write good English and take an interest in the affairs of my country; I pay taxes and can only vote at school meetings and for County Superintendent of Schools, while many men who do none of these things, may vote indiscriminately. I want equal suffrage for women and would appreciate the aid of our Minnesota delegation in Congress to this end.
Yours respectfully,
[signed] Hattie S. Bordewich
