Mrs. L. H. Olzendam, Woodstock, Vt.,

Dear Madam:

Replying to your favor of the 18th regarding your trip to Burlington, would say that Mr. Hopkins, the representative from Burlington, called me up the next day after you saw him, and stated that probably Lieut. Governor Stone, yourself and possibly others, might call on me in the near future, and while he consented to be a member of that committee to you personally, he wished me to state that he had changed his mind, and while he was in favor of the session and would vote for the ratification, he wished me to tell you that he did not want to appear as a member of the committee.

I would like to inquire if your idea is that if we had a special session that it should be without expense to the State and if so, what method you had in mind regarding the payment of such legislators as would forego their milege, etc?

Yours very respectfully, Frank G. Howland
