Grosvenor B. Clarkson,
Director United States Council National Defense.
As a member of the Council of National Defense I wish to express my very sincere appreciation of the patriotic service that Dr. Shaw rendered during the past two years, the magnitude of which cannot be appreciated except by those intimately familiar with it. Her distinguished service medal was well earned.
Franklin K. Lane,
Secretary of the Interior.
I hardly know how to write you about the death of our dear Anna Howard Shaw. She has been such a tower of strength to our cause everywhere and now her place knows her no more! There is one comfort in that she lived long enough to know of the triumph of your cause in the passage of the Federal Amendment. She will be sorely missed and deeply mourned, first and foremost in America and Great Britain, but really all over the world, in every country where woman's cause is a living issue.
Millicent Garrett Fawcett,
Honorary President,
National Union of Societies for
Equal Citizenship of Great Britain.
My deepest sorrow and sympathy go out to the family of Dr. Shaw, to the National Council of Women of the United States and to the International Council and the Woman Suffrage Alliance. Her passing is indeed a great loss to the women of the whole world.
Ishbel Aberdeen and Temair,
President International Council of Women.
Truly all womanhood has lost a faithful friend.
Elizabeth C. Carter,
President Northeastern Federation
of Women's Clubs (colored).
Loving and appreciative tributes were sent from the officers of National and International Associations in all parts of the world.
