Boston Oct 30 1908 Dear Miss Bevier,

I am most anxious to know how the House is getting on and if you could dictate about half a page as to its opportunities or possibilities, for me to read at a meeting on Nov 19 of the Woman's Education Association, which is to have 5 meetings this year on the subject of woman's education as it relates to the home, I think it would make some of these Boston people open their eyes. I am most anxious that this house should do its possibilist toward illustrating what we mean.

Our Washington Meeting is getting into shape and something will come of it I am sure, even if it is not that which we might prefer.Prof. Fisher's report on the conservation of human resources is really good if not perfect. It is a strong plea and now we must show that thegreat agent is the kind of teaching we advocate.

It is rather amusing that Dr. W J McGee is to write on homes for the rural commission, however perhaps he will make a better plea than some of us might. It is all working, in a grand "ferment."

Miss Stern is with me mornings and is trying to bring a little order out of the chaos my papers are in.

Did I tell you that I was over persuaded to go to Nebraska for their function Jan 19th

sincerely yours Ellen H. Richards
