"Law Office of Allen, Hemenway & Long,

Boston, Mass., Aug. 23, 1889.

Dear Sir:—In my judgment, if Wyoming adopts a woman suffrage constitution, congress will recognize and respect the right of the people of the territory to regulate and determine the question of suffrage for themselves, and would not refuse them admission as a state on that account.

"Yours truly,

"JOHN D. LONG.

Henry B. Blackwell, Esq.
