Subject(s): Armenia (Republic), Armenians, Committees, Human rights advocacy, New York (State)--Ithaca (Town), Old age, Turkey

Andrew Dickson White tells Vahan Cardashian that he is deeply sympathetic to the issue of Armenians mistreated by Turkey, but at his age of eighty he fears he cannot be too actively involved in Cardashian’s cause. However, he says Cardashian has permission to list White’s name as a member of his committee, if he thinks it will be useful.
