| Summary: | In the letter, Nesbitt acknowledges the recent ratification of the 19th Amendment, and he makes several suggestions to facilitate the registration of women in time for the upcoming general election on November 2. Among those recommendations is that "Women registering prior to & voting in this election are not required to pay poll tax."
Also included are responses from Governor Kilby's personal secretary and the governor himself. In his letter, Kilby explains that a special legislative session, which Nesbitt had hoped to avoid, would be necessary: "I am very sorry indeed that the extra session could not be avoided, but after a careful consideration of the plans, in view of the statue mentioned, no other course was left open than the issuance of a call to provide the machinery for the registration of the newly enfranchised voters."
