Birth control laws : $b shall we keep them, change them, or abolish them
Dennett, Mary Ware
Birth control; Birth control -- Law and legislation -- United States
Rec’d your pamphlets, thank you ever so much. So sorry you couldn’t
give me the information I wanted so bad. For God’s sake, can’t you
help me somehow. Am married three years, I have a baby two years old
another five months old, and I am pregnant again. Can you imagine
anything more awful. If I could only devote the next five or six
years of my life to the raising of my darlings I am sure God would
reward anyone who would tell me.
I swear if I become pregnant a fourth time I will do something
desperate. What I would say about my husband had better be left
unsaid. Please, please cant you give me the information I crave, just
one little line. I will pray for you every night of my life. May God
bless you and help you along in the wonderful work you are doing. I
thank you for anything you will tell me, and if you will not I thank
you just the same. Once more I ask for our dear Lord’s sake please,
please help me.
One discouraged mother,
____.
Voluntary Parenthood League:
I have received the literature you sent and wish to thank you
although it cannot help me at present. I may be able to help some
other poor sufferer. I would like to become a member or be able to
send some money but it is impossible at present. We are four months
in arrears in our rent, the children have scarlet fever, and my
husband was out of work for six months, then he invested the little
we had in a business but we cannot keep up with our bills. And now
this other expense coming again.
I love little children but don’t like to see them suffer from lack of
attention and care.
Sincerely yours,
____.
DEAR MADAM:
I am writing to see if you can help me any. I have two children whom
we adore and I am living on the prairie, forty miles from a reliable
doctor, and no crops for five years.
