Addams has made the arrangements for Haldeman's stay at Hull-House in case Haldeman arrives in Chicago before Addams returns from the peace meeting in Washington, D.C.
Addams invites Haldeman to join her in Chicago or Rockford, Illinois, in the summer, noting that there will be construction ongoing at Hull-House and she will not be able to go away. She also remarks on her health and that of John Weber Addams.
