My dear Mr. Ely
I have thought of putting some lectures into a book form [although] I am afraid the book would be rather small. "The Newer Ideals of Peace", "Dynamic Peace" or "War & Labor" have occurred to me as possible titles. I should like very much to read the thesis to you and I need not tell you for how many reasons we hope that you are soon coming to Hull-House.
If you care to have the book [page 2] in the series I should of course be glad to have it there, [although] I imagine that it might not fit in. The Macmillan Co has written about another book and [although] I have not yet answered the letter, I should of course have no reason for changing publishers. I go to Washington and Baltimore the first of the week but will be back by next Thursday and will be quite steadily until the first of the year. I wish very much that you might [page 3] come before this and that Mrs Ely might come with you. With cordial greetings to her as well as yourself, I am always faithfully yours
