A letter from Stella Hanau, Publications Director of the American Birth Control League, details the scandal of the illegitimate publication known as "The Birth Control Outlook." She writes to a law firm in New York City (Greenbaum, Wolff, and Ernst) seeking to take legal action against Josephine Lewis Skeehan, editor of "The Birth Control Outlook." Skeehan has reprinted articles without permission and printed medical ads considered "obscene."
