that
their adoption will heal some hurt or introduce some broad and
general good.

The increasing discussion of industrial, educational, sanitary,
and social questions generally, indicates the domain of argument
and effort where victories for the advocates of enlarged suffrage
are most likely, and I think are sure to be won. Woman should
study specially what is called, for the want of a better term,
the labor problem--a problem which includes in its scope almost
everything important to everybody. I know this is an unnecessary
suggestion, for it is just what you are doing. I only write it
because repetition of the important is better than to recite
platitudes or even to quote the declaration. I believe in your
success because I believe in justice and in the advancement of
mankind.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant, HENRY W. BLAIR.
