QUEBEC, 30th Sept. 1920

Thomas Mulwey, Esq.

Under Secretary of State,

Ottawa.

Dear Sir,

I have duly received your telegram of the 29th inst., informing me that the death sentence passed upon Marie-Anne Houde, or Gagnon, was commuted into life imprisonment.

I suppose the only logical thing to do now would be to amend the statute in order to exempt women from the death penalty.

Yours truly,
Louis P. Pelletier
