White House,
July 12, 1919.
Hon. Thomas E. Kilby, Governor,
Montgomery, Alabama.
I hope you will pardon me if I express my very earnest hope that the Suffrage Amendment to the Constitution of the United States may be ratified by the great State of Alabama.
It would constitute a very happy augury for the future and add greatly to the strength of the movement which, in my judgment, is based upon the highest considerations, both of justice and experience.
Woodrow Wilson.
