TREASURY DEPARTMENT
OFFICE STATE CHAIRMAN
330 GATES BLDG.
NATIONAL
WOMAN'S LIBERTY LOAN
COMMITTEE
MRS. ALBERT B. BATES
KANSAS CITY, MO.
STATE CHAIRMAN
March 7, 1919.
Miss Bess Wallace,
219 North Deleware Street,
Independence, Missouri.
My dear Miss Walker:
As the newly appointed Chairman for
that portion of Missouri lying in the Tenth Federal Reserve
District, I am now preparing to perfect an organization of
the women in the interest of the Victory Loan Campaign.
I have been studying the situation
very carefully and have heard splendid reports of your
work as Chairman of Blue Township, and I shall be
greatly pleased if you will act as Chairman for Jackson
County, in the Victory Liberty Loan. Mrs. Brown-Harris,
of Independence, Missouri, is Chairman of District Num-
ber Two, comprising Jackson, Clay and Platte Counties.
You will appreciate the fact that
conditions now prevailing are quite different from those
at the time of the last Loan, and for this and other
reasons we consider it inadvisable that the same Chair=
man should have the heavy responsibility of both the
Metropolitan and District Chairmanships.
I hardly need to say to you, who
understand the situation so well, that it will be nec-
essary for anyone who undertakes the Chairmanship of
a District or County, to have boundless energy: an
unselfish and wholehearted enthusiasm for the Cause,
and a sincere desire and determination to fit into the
plan of harmonious cooperation with their respective
men Chairmen.
An early reply will be greatly
appreciated as it will facilitate putting the Organ-
ization on a working basis.
Yours very sincerely,
Enrs. albert B Bates
Missouri State Chairman
