Vilma Glücklich to Margaret Corbett Ashby, June 22, 1925

June 22nd, 1925.

Dear Mrs Corbett Ashby,

Almost at the same time as I received yours I also received letters from Lady Aberdeen and from Mrs Ogilvie Gordon, the latter dealing with exactly the same subject as yours, while that of the I.C.W. -- which you too will certainly have received -- suggested, in addition, the nomination of a woman to service on the Committee for the Codification of International Law of the League of Nations, and the formation of a Joint Committee of our [organizations authorized] to act for us whenever an opportunity occurs to make a similar claim.

As to the question of the Slavery Committee, our British Section has been specially studying the matter and therefore I shall leave it to them to make a nomination.

As to the Committee for the Codification of International Law, mentioned in the letter from Lady Aberdeen, I think the only natural representative whose name we can put forward is Chrystal Macmillan, Chairman of our Joint Committee on the Nationality of Married Women -- this special question having been placed on the Agenda of the Committee for the Codification of International Law.

I am asking Miss Kathleen Courtney, Chairman of [page 2] our British Section to represent us on the Joint Committee or to nominate some one to do so.

I suppose that the Joint Committee will have its first meeting very soon, agree on the names of the nominees, and on the joint appeal to the League of Nations. I fully agree with you that it is most suitable to put forward our claims as a joint proposal from the first.

With kindest regards,

Yours sincerely,

International Secretary.
