April 2, 1924.
Dear Miss Addams:
Yesterday the Executive Board of the Womens Peace Society gathered at our National Barracks and talked with Miss Kita Hasegawa, who is to represent the Society even for a few days at your convention. Together with her Mrs. Robert Mendelson, who is a board member of the Yokohama Y.W.C.A., is going to America to our conferences. Will she be allowed to attend some of your meetings in Washington simply as a visiting guest. I imagine that your convention will be very crowded and there may not be any seat for any visitor. If so, she will understand. It will be a great thing for us all if both of them could have even a glimpse of the gathering of the prominent women who come there from all over the world. Any letter addressed to them C/o Miss MacLaurin, Y.W.C.A., 600 Lexington, New York will reach them. They are leaving Japan on April 5 with the two Chinese ladies who are also going to the Y.W.C.A. conferences in New York and Washington.
The generous offer of $200.00 which you wrote to Miss Wada will be transferred to Miss Hasegawa. So if you have not as yet sent a check to Japan, please hold it and let your secretary hand it over to her when she comes to America. We are most thankful for this gift to our movement. The ladies of the Peace Society asked me to send their best regards and wishes for your health and for the success of your own convention.
Very sincerely yours,
Michi Kawai [signed]
