Addams writes Haldeman about the costs for flowers and tickets, the total of which they will share, and sends news about the sad pall cast by the death of Joseph Bowen.
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.
