My dear Mrs. Hoyt:

Your letter addressed to Mrs. Catt
cannot receive her attention at
this time as she is in Honolulu.  I
shall, however, refer it to her upon
her return.

                     Very truly yours,
     
                             Secretary.

Dear Mrs. Catt, 

It is with a feeling of unholy glee that I have read your recent articles in the "Woman Citizen" entitled "Lies at Large" and "AN Open Letter To The D.A.R.
About a year ago, a very small group of women in our town joined the "International League for Peace and Freedom" after a careful survey of its aims and accomplishments. We made no attempt to recruit memberships, but were immediately assailed as dupes of the Bolshevists, altho we were all long time members and workers in various civic organizations, local, state and national and were deluged with the literature which you mentioned as being sponsored by the D.A.R.
At recent elections in local organizations notably The League of Women Voters, these women, all prominent in local League work, were campaigned against, several members of the local D.A.R. joining the League on the meeting previous to the election, ostensibly in order to cast their vote against them. 
Such methods used by an organization which should at least be familiar with the principles which inspired the Fathers of the Revolution, whose name they bear, must eventually react on its membership. 
It is to be hoped, for the sake of their intelligent and informed members, the D.A.R.'s will "think it over".
Sincerely Yours, 
Emily Bruce Hoyt
