Ann Pamela Cunningham, Official Paper No. 2

Containers:
Box 2
Creator:
Cunningham, Ann Pamela, 1816-1875
Scope and content:

MVLA Regent Ann Pamela Cunningham gives an explanation to the MVLA Vice Regents of her reasons for not calling a Council during the war years--it was basically due to the need for immediate action and a lack of communication at this difficult time. She was also of the opinion that sectional feelings at a Council would have come into play and hampered the meeting. She feels her actions, though outside of what was outlined in the MVLA Constitution, were necessary. She asks that she be excused for her course of action on the grounds that she acted with good motives and out of necessity.
