Speaker, House of Representatives
Boston, Massachusetts.
My dear Mr. Young:
Thank you very much for your kind letter of January 27 with the enclosures of the new act relating to the rights, privileges and immunities of men and women under the laws of Massachusetts and the bulletin of the Republican Club of Massachusetts, both of which I read with interest. I am delighted, of course, that you enjoyed the article in Good Housekeeping and that you feel my attitude toward the National Woman’s Party is a wise one. These articles of mine on political and semi-political subjects appear every month, as perhaps you know, and if there is anything you feel that I can help with in the future, I shall be delighted if you will advise me.
Please do not call your letter an”intrusion” upon my affairs. Though you have apparently entirely forgotten me, I remember very pleasantly meeting you at Mary Grays’ long ago. She and I were classmates at Miss Windsor’s and she has always been one of my best friends and is the God-mother of my youngest son. He and I spent last summer with her and Roland at Santa Barbara and they both spoke of you to me and said they wished that we might some time get together for political work. I have been on the point of writing you myself all winter as a result of these conversations so you have simply forestalled me by doing so first. Perhaps the next time I come to Boston we may arrange to have a talk together.
Very sincerely yours,
(Mrs. Henry W. Keyes)
