Wessington Springs Herald October 15, 1886
The white ribbon women of Jerauld County: - Dear Sisters- The continued
dangerous illness of my husband has prevented me from calling the Annual County
Convention of W. C. T. U. I have taken my clothes off to sleep but once in
twenty-four days. As long as this dark shadow hovers over my home, it will be
impossible for me to aid in convention in any way whatever. I leave it to the
Executive Committee to take such action as shall best further the interests of
the cause. Unions observe Oct. 17 as temperance Sabbath, asking the ministers to
preach upon the subject. Oct. 16th to be observed as a day of prayer for the
National Convention that convenes the following week. In great tribulation.
Yours for humanity.

                                      Nettie C. Hall
                                      Pres. Co. W. C. T. U.
