MOTHERS HAVE "A HAPPINESS THAT BRINGS ITS OWN WISDOM" BATES, KATHARINE LEE. Two Autograph Letters Signed, to "Dear Mr. Winslow." The first, sending greetings to "beautiful Bennington," and sending thanks for, but declining, an invitation to speak because "I'm not a mother and wouldn't venture to instruct women who are so happy as to have children. Theirs is a happiness that brings its own wisdom." 1 1/2 pages, 8vo, "Women's University Club" stationery; horizontal folds. The second, sending summer greetings, reporting that she would be away for a month, and asking why he sent a copy of her The Retinue: "Did the Duttons send you two copies? Or do you want me to autograph it?" 1 page, 8vo, "Wellesley College" stationery; horizontal folds. "Women's University Club" [New York], 22 May; Wellesley, 30 June 1921
