WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE FOR THE RUSSIAN COMMISSION TO COME TO CHICAGO FOR A RECEPTION ON THE FOURTH OF JULY. IT IS CONSIDERED THE BEST POSSIBLE DAY FOR SUCH A NOTABLE GATHERING BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE WHO WILL SEND FORMAL INVITATION AS SOON AS WE KNOW YOUR FREE DATES. PLEASE TELEGRAPH REPLY AT ONCE. ALSO THE LENGTH OF TIME THE COMMISSION COULD SPEND IN OUR CITY. IF THE FOURTH OF JULY IS IMPOSSIBLE WILL YOU KINDLY SUGGEST ANOTHER DAY BY RETURN TELEGRAM COLLECT TO HULL-HOUSE CHICAGO.
