My dear Miss Blackwell: 
      Your letter received with letter from Mrs. Heghinian.  
Mrs. Catt is still in Europe and will not be  home until June.  I 
have been ill for the last two months, pneumonia and the grippe, 
and am not in any condition to go out or do anything well.  I have 
written her and will do what I can. 

Sincerely yours, 
Mary G. Hay

[*Condensed note of this sent  Miss Hay- Congress Hotel June 7th]
My dear Miss Hay:
      I have your letter of June 2nd.  I understand from 
the newspaper report that the Supreme Court has rendered 
a decision which finally disposes of any question that 
the ratification of the Federal Amendment can be submitted
in any State to popular vote.  While I have no 
doubt about this, from current reports, I must, of
course, see the official report of the decision before 
I write you a formal opinion upon this point.  I 
usually received the official opinions of the Supreme
Court within a few days after their delivery, and just
as soon as I receive the one in question I shall write
you further. 
      I hope that you will soon get the thirty-sixth 
State and the long contest will be over. 

Very sincerely yours, 
Charles E. Hughes
