Letter is very clean and intact except for light age toning and a few wrinkles. A Very Good copy. Alice M. Dickson worked for both Herbert Hoover on the Belgian War Relief and later for Lou Henry Hoover on the Emergency Committee for Employment. She also worked in publishing at Doubleday. In this letter, Dickson writes to "Mrs. Bright" about a copy of the "Interfaith Observer" which had been included with the letter (no longer included). Dickson is very critical of the publication and its associated "Interfaith Group" who meets at the "Community Church--which we identify always as 'liberal.'" Dickson had attended a meeting of the Interfaith Group as an "observer," possibly for political reasons. Dickson writes, "That meeting was attended mostly by Jewish people, and about 1/5 or 1/6 [people of color]." She also appears to be very critical of a solicitation in the publication from the American Civil Liberties Union and a notice about the activities of the "One World Award Committee." She writes that the columnist, Westbrook Pegler, has written some "pretty violent" columns about the One World Award Committee.. Manuscript. Book Condition: Collectible-Very Good. Binding: No Binding
