men's work in connection with
the exposition for publication.

Sixth. To encourage, by correspondence or otherwise, attendance
at the exposition of societies and associations of women and the
holding of conventions, congresses, and other meetings of women.

Seventh. To maintain within the grounds during the period of the
exposition an organization for the relief of women and children
who may be found in need of aid, comfort, or special protection.

Eighth. To receive and officially entertain women when requested
so to do by the Exposition Company and the Commission.

Ninth. To commission members of the board or others, with the
approval of the Commission and the company, to travel in the
interest of the exposition, either at home or abroad.

Tenth. To provide for the constant attendance, in rotation, of
at least three members of the board at the exposition grounds
from April 30 to December 1, 1904.

Eleventh. To issue bulletins from time to time as the company
and the Commission may approve, for the special information of
women and the exploitation of their contributions to the success
of the exposition.

These suggestions may be supplemented by others, and some of
them may be disregarded by you entirely. They will, however,
serve to convey to you the views of the Commission on the
general range of work you can, if you wish, undertake to
perform, subject only to the limitation that you submit your
plan when agreed upon to the Commission and the company for
consideration and approval, to the end that harmony may prevail.

Let us not at any time lose track of this one important fact,
that the exposition will be enormously expensive at best, and
that it does not befit us to look up ways and means of expending

work there should be some committee or subdivision of the board
to begin at once to ascertain what different societies,
organizations, and women's congresses could be assembled here,
and then bring them in within the scope of your work for
submission to the company. We will gladly submit to the company
a plan for the disposal of matters that will involve a
reasonable
