personal letters, of which no mailing
record was kept, the following state
ment shows the work done from De
cember 5, 1903, to February 29, 1904:
Dec. 5: original 9G0 test letters;
Dec. 19, lot A, 610; Dec. 24, lot B...384;
Jan. 1 Int C.t 748; Jan. 8. lot D, 600:
Jan. 16, lot E, 1,134; Feb.'l7-26, lot F,
1,!74. Total, 6,010.
Although the enrollment seems to
indicate about one to every tour let
ters sent out, the average is not so
good, because a good many enroll
ments came as the result of the work
done 'by The Independent, Missouri
World, Cleburne (Tex.) Watchman,
Southern Mercury, and Vineland ' (N.
J.) Independent, resulting in personal
correspondence which does not appear
in the mailing record. There are now
outstanding fully 5,000 unanswered
invitations to enroll, mailed as above
set out. Contributions to aid in the
work average less than 25 cents to
each enrolled person. There were,
however, but 700 contributions all told
and, as a number gave sums on a
number of occasions, the total number
of contributors Is about 650,
All mail since March 15 is being
sent sealed. The returns from lot F
having thus far failed to pay the
$15.74 postage expended, I have lim
ited my . outgoing mail to 100 letters
a day, until such time as the returns
will permit an increase. I expect to
place an order in a few days for 5,000
lapel buttons for the Vanguard and
Old Guard and will mail one to each
enrolled member. Ask your readers
to answer promptly and the work can
be pushed very rapidly from now on.
