Ely invites Addams to lecture during the summer session at the University of Wisconsin, suggesting it would give her an opportunity to edit the talks for use in Newer Ideals of Peace.
Addams informs her publisher that she has sent out a manuscript of her latest book to Ely for proofreading, but he will not return from a trip for several weeks. Addams would prefer that he give his input on the manuscript, but if Brett cannot wait that long, she will rush the process.
Brett responds to Addams' previous letter and assures her that she can take however long she wants to with proofreading her manuscript, as long as "it may be in our hands for successful publication at no distant day".
Addams writes to Ely about sending her manuscript for Newer Ideals of Peace in to The Macmillan Company, and summarizes for him a letter they sent her.
Macmillan indicates that their copy of the contract for Newer Ideals for Peace stipulates that payment will be made on publication of the manuscript, not submission, and that they are ready to publish it whenever Addams is ready.
Addams notes that she expects a $200 advance on Newer Ideals of Peace but would prefer to receive it upon publication of the book, when all editing is completed.
Brett notes that Newer Ideals of Peace can be published as early as December 20, but that they think it should be held to January; he encloses her advance check.
Addams indicates that she needs copies of Newer Ideals of Peace for distribution to politicians, and thus would like a few sent even if the rest do not come out until January.
Addams agrees on a January 16 publication date for Newer Ideals of Peace and explains that she hoped to sway opinion on immigration with the book copies.
