November 4, 1957
Dear Ann:
It is indeed a blow to us all to lose you as a member of the
Corporation, which you have been since July, 1953; as a Director, which you have been since January, 1954; as Editor of ONE Magazine, which you have been since March, 1956.
Your faithful, untiring work in each of these positions, and the many others you have also held from time to time, have meant much to each of us personally as inspiration and encouragement. Even more important, Homophiles in this country and elsewhere will always be indebted to you for your work, though they may not know your name or ever have seen ONE Magazine.
We shall miss your friendly presence from our meetings and your invaluable experience and know-how in the conduct of the various Divisions of the Corporation. We trust that your full recovery and regaining of strength will not be too long delayed.
Will you not accept from us the post of Honorary Member, without special duties or obligations, as the first person to hold such a position? We would be especially pleased if you would do so and are happy that we will in any case frequently be seeing you as a friend.
With affectionate best wishes, ONE, Incorporated,
in Meeting assembled.
