Julia Clifford Lathrop to Jane Addams, November 13, 1912

Dearest J A

I have just finished your beautiful book. All the way along, as I have been moved by its vigorous and delicate interpretation of simple stuff I have thought of words, not noble enough, but of a [page 2] tender appreciation, -- those Hamlet says about Ophelia that "everything she turns to favor and to prettiness."

Dear J. A, you cannot have the smallest idea how much good you do to

Your devoted 

J C L
