Mrs. Hewlett, Mrs. Dillingham...

I am so pleased you have invited Mrs. Bryant and me here today
Mrs. Bryant two years ago

Florida has come a long way under your inspiration

Some philosopher -- correlation -- stage of civilization and status
of women

I don't know -- but in the field of conservation surely true

In many ways I feel your partner ~- for a decade --

1953 Speaker Mrs. Tom Smith) -- Ssbal Palm -- slash pine
Mrs. Farris Bryant) --

Small beginning -- an exercise
Since then conscious of your concern -- and activities
Because of you -- individually and collectively - campaign
was conservation oriented
Because of you -- we have taken the signs off the highways
Never before -- not easy -- many people offended
During this campaign -- political signs
I didn't hear from you -- didn't expect to -- but felt that
I had your support
Because of you -- more done for conservation -- for beauty -- then
in all other administrations put together
Confident your active interest made passage of outdoor recreation
bond issue possible
Eternally grateful
We are not finished
Report where we are
