Mrs. Larned writes from her Kingman County ranch of their mutual cause, of her hope to contribute to Harbert's pro-suffrage journal ( ), of the loss to fire and rebuilding of her husband's business at Wellington, of her solitude at their ranch, and of a recent frenzy of alarm in their vicinity at the report of an imminent Indian attack, which proved unfounded. The letter is written on business letterhead of "C. G. Larned & Co." at Wellington. The New Era
