Improved Order Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem
609 North Second Street

March 2nd, 1911

Prof. B.F. Yancey,
Esmont, Va.
My dear Sir:

I am in receipt of your letter of February 28th, 1911. I wish to state that every thing is moving on nicely at headquarters so far. I am glad to see that you are pushing things all you can in your locality.

Please push things as hard as you can, because new work is what we need. You referred to the Reformers in your letter. I will make no comment, as we have previously mailed you a copy of the Planet- not only you but every member of the Board and all the secretaries.

I have the law suit sleeping yet awhile. If any thing turns up you will hear from me.

Your very Truly,
J. Thomas Hewin
