W28 JONAH J.GOLDSTEIN 366 BROADWAY NEW YORK cicition (1913) 3rd 1607 New York, March 24th, 1917. Miss Anne Rochester, Children's Bureau, Washington, D. C. My dear Miss Rochester: You have no doubt heard of the arrest of Margaret Sanger, for disseminat- ing "Birth Control" information, and you probably know that she did this with a view to arousing interest in the question of "Birth Control" so that better laws could be made. In trying to defend her, I find it very necessary to have statistics relating to large families among poor people. Would you be kind enough to see whether there is any such material gathered in your bureau and forward to me anything that you think could be used in along this line. Has there been any statistics gathered on the prevalency of abortion? Very truly yours, JJG/PB.
