Mrs. Henry Goddard Leach,
Room 821,
Graybar Building,
New York City.

Mr dear Mrs. Leach:
When Miss Hay died, I collected such photographs 
from the house, the office, and our friends as I could 
get.  None of them were very satisfactory.

I found she had had a sitting at Marceau's, but 
had ordered none of the pictures.  They sent the proofs 
to me and I ordered a few.  I think these are good as 
representing her last appearance.

I had, myself, had a sitting much against my 
will quite recently and to please others. I had ordered 
a few pictures.

These pictures, of Miss Hay and of me, belong to 
the same period and represent us fairly well as we have 
looked of late.  I thought, perhaps, you might like the 
pair of us for the State Headquarters, and so I am sending 
you the two pictures.
Most cordially yours,
Carrie C. Catt

My dear Mrs. Catt:

At its convention in Buffalo
November 24th, the New York League of Women Voters
passed the following resolution as a tribute to the
memory of Miss Mary Garrett Hay:

"WHEREAS Mary Garrett Hay gave the greater part of
her life to work for the freedom and advancement of
women, and contributed more than any other one woman
to the victory of suffrage in New York in 1917; and

"WHEREAS, by her foresight and vigorous leadership
she chrystalized the enthusiasm of public spirited
women into the reorganization of the League of Women
Voters; and

"WHEREAS, we of this convention are filled with a
deep sense of loss in the absence from among us of
that stimulating presence, radiating friendliness
and confidence,

"RESOLVED that we here express our admiration and
honor and love for this great American, and that
we send a copy of this resolution with your sympathy 
to our dear Mrs. Catt."

I herewith send this resolution to
you at the request of the delegates.

Cordially yours,


Mrs. Thomas J. Goddard
Recording Secretary
