My Dear Mrs Breen

  Your letter followed me here where I will be until the middle of March.   I would b glad to see you & will when I come to N.Y. but I dont see that it would do any good.   The settlements are evidently lined up with the preachers who believe in forcing people to obey laws that have no reason for existence.  they propose to help make this country the home of servants.  I dont know why you should say my views are "unusual"   Every intelligent person who ever read history and knows any thing about the subject knows that always and every when obnoxious laws are got rid of because the people will not obey them.  Suppose you read Sumners Folk Ways.

With best wishes. Clarence Darrow
