Bronson [[/left margin]] [[/letterhead]] Mrs. Helen L. Peterson Denver, Colo. Dear Helen: It was nice to talk to you and to know you had a successful trip but am sorry you arrived home ill, you had better take it easy a few days and doctor your self and try to prevent taking pneumonia. I wrote to Governor Murray of Oklahoma asking him to send Judge Johnson to the Convention as I thought the Judge could be a great help to us during the Convention. In writing us a letter will reach us in care of H.B. Williamson Gen.Del. Allendale, S.C., we will be there two or three days. The way it looks to me from this end there is a lot of interest being shown in the Convention this year and I think we will have a good attendance. Am enclosing you a letter I received from a blind girl in N.Y.City, I met her and her blind girl friend while in New York in June during the open house of Arrow, I told her that she could become and honorary non voting member of NCAI and you can see from her letter which leads me to believe that she would be a valuable worker for NCAI. Lucy and I just went through our NCAI supplies and blanks but we do not find any honorary applications for membership, I am, sure that I had advised her correctly, I am writing her to night advising her that I am out of applications for honorary membership, will you please take care of this matter with her. Hoping this finds you feeling better and with best wishes from Lucy and myself. I am, Sincerely, W.W. Short.
