Dear Mr. Apperson –
I don’t at all like the article from the Herald Tribune which you enclosed with your letter received today. It does not sound good to me. I wish we could have a committee on Conservation in the League of Women Voters. Unfortunately, we have so many committees that we have about all we can do at present, and this I am afraid is somewhat out of our line.
However, we are planning, as you know, to have our State Convention meet in Albany and a group of the League will go to the State Department and ask some very pertinent questions.
The most discouraging aspect of it all to me is to have a person like Mr. Myers so slow of understanding as to take part in a movement of this kind, or perhaps it is intentional misunderstanding. At any rate it is discouraging to know that one of the leading figures in the Adirondack Mountain Club should lend encouragement to a group of exploiters such as these appear to be.
Last week I had to go up to Newburg to see a Senator and as I motorized across the Bear Mountain Bridge, I thought it was one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen, so I can well imagine what we missed by not going to Lake George this week. Henry has been in Washington a great deal the last few weeks and I have been up to my eyes with many things, but I do hope that soon we shall be adjusted so that we can come up and pay you all a visit at Lake George, as we would so love to do. We like to hear from you very much, and with all my best wishes,
Sincerely yours,
Agnes Leach
