Parmelee writes Mrs. Ida Harper of New York City that she had just finished writing fifty pages for the suffrage history when she received Harper’s suggestions, and that she will do a rewrite after other obligations have been completed.
Parmelee debates whether or not to accept the position of State Historian for the Vermont Equal Suffrage Association, and gives her opinion as to Governor Clement's opposition to women's suffrage.
Parmelee states that she is willing to take up the State Historian appointment though she is concerned at her ability to perform the task, and questions Horton's opinion of a "favorable Legislature," as they voted suffrage down after Catt's "splendid speech."
