Dear Mr. Svans:
Mr. Meguire and I were sorry to have missed you and
Mrs. Evans on Sunday morning. We usually are very lazy about
that hour. The next time you are in town, give us a ring, for
we would like to see both of you again.
In the past week 1 have been trying to get from my
' friends and acquaintances the concensus of opinion concerning
your talk. All feel that you did a great deal of good here
and gave a clear, fair and comprehensive statement of the case.
Most of them had read only bits here and there in the newspapers;
just enough to stimulate, but in no measure to satisfy, their
interest.
The publicity in the Sunday Courier, of course, did much
more good. `hat account was read all over Kentucky and beyond
our own borders. I think the true conditions are just now coming
to be known generally. Mrs. Norton said your talk has been the
most valuable one given under the auspices of the Woman's Club
this year, and I heartily agree with her.
So often this past winter people have confused the
speakers presented by the Woman*s Club with speakers presented
by the Forum (of which Mr. Grover Sales is President) in our
building on Sunday evenings. It is conducted and attended
largely by Louisville's radical group. The Monday newspapers
often leave the impression that the Woman's Club was sponsoring
addresses by Forum speakers.
I finished "Sinister Shadows" and found it a store—house
‘ of valuable information, but feel Hadley's lack of skill in handling
fiction does his compilation a great deal of harm. I just feel
Mr. McNutt made a good many contributions to this book, although
there is nothing in it to indicate that. I came very near
bringing that President of HE DePauw who is mentioned in
"Sinister Shadows", over to talk to us on the Disarmament Conference
this winter. Somebody just tipped me off that he was very dry,
so I dropped him. "Sinister Shadows" is a pretty good Who’s Who.
I wish to extend to you the thanks of the Woman's Club,
along with my own appreciation, for your generosity in coming
THE w0MAN‘S CLUB
` 1320 SOUTH FOURTH STREET
Louusvuls, Ksmucm
all the way across Kentucky to speak to us.
We hope, in our small way, to be able to contribute
toward the relief or solution of the unfortunate Harlan and
Bell County situation.
Sincerely your friend,
Kathleen H. Meruire M
(Mrs. K. U. Meguirei \

my dear Mr. Evans:
I am herewith enclosing the clippings from the late edition
Of the Courier Journal of Sunday that wei were speaking about in your office
yesterday. —
I wish to express at this time my appreciation for the
. eourtesy you accorded me in Pineville, especially since I realize you gave _
me time you could little afford to waste. I can say candidly that I met
with nothing but helpfulness and civility from everyone with whom I came in
,qntact, both in Pineville and Harlan, I
Mrs. Purman joins me in suggesting that at any time you
are in Louisville we should be very happy to entertain you. The telephone
number is Highland 6209Y.

My dear sir.
I just want to congratulate you and those who are
working with you on the st nd you have taken regarding the interfer-
ince in your local matters%#&xk a lot of brainless busybodies thay
have rushed off down your way to tell you how to manage your own
_ affairs-
The notoriety and publiéty seekers do not represent the real
sentiment of the average american. We feel such things can safely
be left to the people who are interested right thereand not be managed
at long distance by putsiders·
If such folks would spend their spare time in helping their
OWU neighbors and l0G&l interests they would be much better employed
You cant"treat 'em too rpugh"for my ideas.
Sincerely YoujséT<;Li1g4`»bU
