Letter, January 3, 1885, Julia Ward Howe, New York, to Ellen Call Long, Tallahassee, 6 pp., recalling their meeting at the New Orleans World Exposition and requesting her help ''in my efforts to forward and organize the industries of women.'' Also discusses ''what has become of papers and reports which, to my certain knowledge, have been mailed to you. . . We are settled here for the winter . . . Our object is to be near an older married daughter of mine . . . We regret our Boston, and our New Orleans too, and try to make the best of our residence here. This is my native city, but I have lived out of it for forty years . . . Did I write you of . . . getting a Woman's Exchange started in [Jacksonville]? . . . Can't you do something to help such an enterprise? . . .''

immediately write to the Woman’s Journal, and ascertain whether the paper has been sent to N.O. or to [Tallahassee]. Your account of the Exposition is very encouraging. I am glad that it is not a scene of desolation, and that Mrs. Nixon is getting on so pleasantly. I should think there might be a great increase in the attendance later on in the season. I think Mrs. Nixon must have received the Reports and Journals sent for you, for, if I am not mistaken, they were addressed in her care. Can’t you write her about it? She has probably forgotten them in the press of her business, or, they may never have been delivered. We are settled here
