My dear Miss Addams:
It was delightful to be remembered by you at Christmas time.
We shall treasure the picture hoping some day to stay long enough in Chicago to see Hull House itself. [page 2]
Helen our oldest daughter claimed your signature, as you had written in Margaret's birthday book.
She said of the picture "Mother, it ought to be a sacred relic in the McCracken family."
She felt the red [comforter?] far too precious to be used. They are on the [twins] [page 3] beds and Elsie and Martha love the gay colors.
I believe it is good for girls to have such well-placed enthusiasms.
We were very anxious about you when news came of your illness in Japan.
I hope you have quite recovered.
With the best wishes from a rather large family
Sincerely
Helen McCracken
February 20, 1924
