The BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Papers of the failure of the cotton crop, and I have had that painful outlook in mind ever since, intending to contribute my mite toward the relief of some of the sufferers. I enclose herewith a postal note for ten dollars to be added to your Relief fund and expended as, those who have it In charge, consider most needed. The severe weather of two weeks ago has multiplied appeals for help to the poor. I have just come on from Washington. While there I heard much of the efforts made to raise money for the relief of the suffering. The city poor never appeal to my sympathies as do those in the country, because they are often the creators of their own misery, by their vicious and improvident habits, and are so indolent as to prefer to be fed by charity, which ought to be cold, but when people have striven to earn a living and failed thro' no fault of their own I think that they ought to be helped. Thinking that this letter may find you gone I shall address it to yourself & Mr. Logan. Please remember me to your wife and believe me Cordially Emily Howland ALS Con. 6 BTW Papers ATT.
