Dear Mrs. Davis:

        I am sending you
a circular from the National Chairman
regarding the preservation of records, and
in a letter recently she asked for the
name of the Tennessee chairman.

   We have not had one, and I took
the liberty of appointing you without
first consulting you.  I feel that if
our state has such records that they must
be largely in East Tennessee and that
you would know better where to locate
them than anyone else.

  I am in Alabama now in
order to be with my brother-in-law
during a serious operation, but hope to
return home next week.  The last of
this month or the first of (February-marked out) March
I want to call a state meeting of the
F.& P.  If you can not attend, do
you think it possible for you to go to
Washington in April to the National
meeting?  We shall have to elect delegates,
and would like to know who can

(Page 2)

go before we have our State meeting.
You may not have heard it, but on the
morning on which I had called the state
meeting in November, my dear husband
passed away, and the members in
Nashville postponed the meeting.

   I hope you will accept the chairmanship
and I am sure that we can contribute
something worthwhile to the National.

                  Sincerely yours,
                  Bessoe Hitzing.

Decatur, Alabama.
   Feb. 4, 1931.
