Description: In this two-page letter Mills writes to a fellow activist (Mrs. Peter Stover) in Valley Falls, NY. She says in full: "Thank you for the 8 subscriptions to the newsletter with the money order for two dollars. All the names are entered on the mailing list & will receive the paper as soon as it comes from the press, which will I hope be this week. It is still much delayed each month -- owing to the strike of the printers. You cannot know how much all the state officers rejoice at the success of the Valley Falls Club. It is splendid! Miss Hare was in Syracuse recently spoke most enthusiastically of her visit to your club. Your president is a fine leader & has fine officers to help her. Please give her my love keep some for yourself with all good wishes. Very sincerely, Harriet May Mills."
