Dear Friend:
Looking over a report of the W.I.L.'s Dublin Congress I find to my astonishment that I am listed as a Consultative Member.
I wish to call your attention to my correspondence of a year ago in which I explained to you that if the objects of the W.I.L. are changed so that they are weakened and obscured, I would not serve any longer as Consultative Member nor would I remain a member of the W.I.L. at all.
You obviously have overlooked this remark of mine. My reasons for refusing to be connected with any organization that has not the courage of its own conviction, or has no conviction, was explained in those letters of a year ago and I therefore do not need to repeat them.
May I beg you to withdraw my name and nominate some one else in my place?
I am sending a copy of this letter to the Board of the W.I.L.
I needed not emphasize that in every other way I am more than willing to serve your (our) organization wherever and whenever there is a chance.
With best regards in old comradeship,
June 20th 1927
