WOMEN'S INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE FOR PEACE AND FREEDOM
Dear Mrs Kilbreth:
Your letter concerning the oath taken by the Women's International League was received the first day of our Congress. I must apologize for my delayed reply, but as the letter had been mimeographed in order to be sent to many people I imagine my reply was a matter of mere form, and hence the delay does not inconvenience you. In the digest of our reports which you sent, ↑you have confused↓ the discussions ↑with↓ and the resolutions are quite confused. In spite of this and the fact that you have ↑also↓ quoted from literature in no wise official, I am sure you must admit that we have never officially taken ↑[urged?]↓ an oath of any kind. It is quite impossible with our Quaker membership that we should have done so, and I am quite ready to stand by the letter which I wrote to the Chicago Tribune.
Miss Balch whom you quote plans to be in Washington for several days, from the twelfth until the twentieth of June ↑Way↓. You could get into communication with her at our headquarters at 1403 H Street, if you care to pursue the subject further.
May I send you a copy of the address which I made at the opening of the Congress, also a copy of Who’s Who.
Faithfully,
