My dear Mr. President

Enclosed please find a clipping from this morning's paper. I surely do think you had a right to feel displeased -- If the article is correct.

I was in Penna. nearly two years, left before the election, but I was told before I left it would be "Penrose" The majority for him surely looked as if his opponents were running in "Texas or "Rhode Island" Hope you will appreciate the clippings -
Most sincerely
Nellie May B. Fields
(Mrs. Samuel M. Fields)
