Your sensitivity and strength is going to be a wonderful boost for millions of mothers and daughters and American women generally.

Women everywhere are greatful for your support on behalf of the Equal Rights Amendment in the face of the powerful forces arraigned against us. I believe your honesty is what the whole nation is yearning for politically. I offer you my moral support personally and in the sisterhood of the women's movement which you have strengthened and whose strength is surely yours.
