Incorporated at Washington, D.C., October 27, 1889. Headquarters of National Board, Indianapolis, Ind. "Townsend Homestead" 343 West 34th St. New York City. To the City Council of Hoboken New Jersey - Gentlemen Reading the suggestion that a Curfew or some restraining ordinance should be established in your city, as a result of the painful occurrences in your city, lately - I enclose a paper which may interest you - If you came to pursue the subject. I shall be happy to see any accredited person. I worked very hard for some thing of the kind in this city - but New York is never first. I was not successful. Irresponsible parents & awfully precocious children are working great havoc. Very sincerely, Mrs. John D. Townsend ==== ==== Pamphlet title: The American Curfew Ordinance.
