"Dear Mrs. Weeks: Please hurry and come back home. It is so lonesome without you. Mr. D. wrote me you [obstructed word] had an awfully good time in Dallas. I know you are enjoying your visit home. But don't stay too long, for this 'old maid' is lonesome without her pal. Best wishes to you both."
Written on the front, under the inscription is: "Isn't it so?"

This issue of the Dallas Morning News contains the article, "Suffragist Hopes Gone Glimmering / Only Miracle Seems Able to save Situation in Tennessee Legislature"
The author asserts that with North Carolina Senate postponing a vote on the suffrage amendment until 1921, and other states against calling their legislatures to consider the amendment, and the Speaker Walker of the Tennessee Legislature claiming he has enough votes to defeat ratification, suffragists need a miracle to pass the amendment in 1920.
Short article: "Suffrage is Defeated in North Carolina" discusses the vote to table the amendment until the next regular session in 1921.
