Letter from NAWSA President Carrie Chapman Catt to Grace Raymond Hebard, November 14, 1916

Catt was working to gather facts from twelve suffrage states to build a case proving women's competency to vote. Catt references "Mr. Wilson." Woodrow Wilson was lukewarm to women's suffrage when elected U.S. President in 1913. It wasn't until 1918 that he publicly supported it.
