Convinced that it represents a thoroughly unselfish contribution in the important field of national culture I have been glad to note the strong support which has been given to it by the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. In view of these sentiments and of your earnest invitation on behalf of the General Federation I regret that I cannot accept the post of Honorary President of the National Advisory Council. I am compelled of course by the demands of other duties upon my time to restrict my privilege of outside service; but I am glad to give this testimony of interest and encouragement to so worthy a movement.â€.

Colton 1789-1857 who gave up his ministry because of the failure of his voice went to England in 1831 as a correspondent for the New York Observer. Unlike his earlier religious works which are of little value "his descriptive narratives of travel are of much real value" see DAB. Field 345: "Mr. Colton seems to have been imbued with the laudable design of affording such information regarding the Indians he visited as would not only excite the interest of his readers in his narration of incident but would arouse the sympathy of the humane to their wretched condition. Almost the entire work is devoted to the relation of Indian affairs. More than half of the first volume is occupied with personal observations of Aboriginal life and statements made to him regarding it. The second volume is entirely filled with a collection of facts relating to their origin wars treaties treatment by the governments of Great Britain and the United States and the result of missions among them."
