Lawson responds to Addams letter about Albert G. Beaunisne's reaction to the newsboy legislation and encourages her to provide documentation to Beaunisne.
Bok, the Editor of Ladies' Home Journal, congratulates Addams on the success of her article and urges her not to hesitate to contact him if she needs help publishing her work.
Addams declines Page's request to publish her essays, stating that she is too busy with the Chicago School Board and another book already promised for the Macmillan Company.
Macmillan offers a defense against malicious statements about the company circulating in Chicago. Brett hoped to clarify the issue with Addams, who was a member of the school board and might help.
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.
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.
