This Almanac contains two sets of reading for each month of the year: one set chosen from the Christian Scriptures, the other set from various temperance writings.

Mrs. Frances Julia Barnes [nee Allis] was born in Skaneateles, Onondaga county, New York in 1846. A member of the Society of Friends, Barnes graduated from the Packer Institute, Brooklyn, NY, and, for a time, was involved in Sunday School and mission work there. She moved with her lawyer husband, Willis A. Barnes, to Chicago in 1875, where she met Frances E. Willard, who was conducting gospel temperance meetings in lower Farwell Hall, as well as visiting jails, hospitals, and other places. "It was while the temperance movement was confined to the object of 'rescuing the perishing' [that] the attention of Mrs. Barnes.was drawn to the necessity of implement[ing] principles of total abstinence among young men and women." In a convention in 1878, Barnes was made a member of the committee on young women's work. In 1879 and 1880 twenty-five Young Women's Christian Temperance Unions were formed in Illinois. In 1889 young women's work was made a department of the National W.C.T.U. and Barnes was appointed superintendent. As fraternal delegate to the British W.C.T.U., she presented her interest so well that a British department of young women's work was organized and quickly grew to sixteen branches. In 1891 Barnes was made Superintendent for the World's Young Women's C.T.U. and subsequently edited a manual on young women's temperance work. [F.E. Willard & M.A. Livermore, AMERICAN WOMEN, 1897] Barnes established and edited the "Y" Almanac (Y.W.C.T.U.) for several years. [WHO'S WHO IN AMERICA. 1908-9] She attended several world conferences of the YWCTU and traveled extensively in its cause.

1p, 4to. In fair condition, lightly aged. Folded twice. Considering the tone of the letter, the similarity between the signatories name and that of the prominent suffragist Lady Frances Balfour (1858-1931), and the fact that there is no record of a Sheffield branch of the WNASL, nor of a place in Warrington called 'Arcadia', nor of any Balfours living there, one must strongly suspect that this letter is a spoof, perhaps written by in some such scenario as a pro-suffrage child of a member of the WNASL, having got hold of one of the organisations blank letterheads. Or perhaps not. The reference to the Sheffield Daily Telegraph suggests that Sayers hailed from the Sheffield area, and one wonders if he had a sister, and a mother supporting the WNASL. From the papers of Rev. A. H. Sayers, who later became leader of the Monmouth Town League of Nations Union, not exactly an organisation with which anti-suffragists would have become sympathetic. The item reads: 'Dear Mr. Sayers, / I write to thank you for your admirable letter in the S. D. T. on [sic] a day or two ago re the ridicule the Suffragists cast at their Meeting on the efforts made in Parliament by men to help children & infants. / We are trying very hard to enlarge our Membership & make this Branch an influential & successful one, & we should be extremely glad if you would become a Member. The Subscription is anything from 1/6 to £1 - 1 - 0. I enclose enrollment form / Yours faithfully / Frances J. Balfour Hon. Sec.'.…
