Buck is sending this letter as a preface to a letter she is forwarding from a Japanese woman (Telon Mogi) regarding "her disappointment with American women, and in general with the more spiritual aspects of our democracy". Buck forwarded this letter to "a few of our very best women" in hopes that they will write Mogi back. According to the archivist's own research, Buck also forwarded this letter to Eleanor Roosevelt who did respond to Mogi, according to documents found in the Anna Eleanor Roosevelt Papers at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library.
