There is, however, extensive correspondence of Dr Alfred W. Wishart, campaign advisor to the Michigan Equal Suffrage Association, concerning the "Recount of 1912", which followed the election in which women in Michigan narrowly missed getting the vote. Also included are programs and other papers on suffrage and other meetings held in the state of Michigan between 1897 and 1919.
