My dear Miss Benham
I wish you would express to Mrs. Wilson my gratitude for her kindness in signing our pledge card. It comes just at the psychological moment as we begin our registration campaign on the 1st of July. It is the finest leadership to American women that could be devised.
Yours faithfully,
(Signed) Herbert Hoover.
