Illinois Equal Suffrage Association
CHICAGO
My dear Miss Addams:
We all rejoice that you are able to return to Chicago and I trust that you will soon be entirely well and able to take part again in the active work of Chicago.
I have just written Mrs. Bowen and am now writing you because it has grieved me very much to have your name and hers constantly used in the newspapers as though you were fighting against the Illinois Equal Suffrage Association, because I do not believe for one moment that this is true.
I am literally forced into taking the state presidency again much against my own desire. However, [may] we all wish to accomplish all the good we can for the state we all love. I have been making a study of the laws of Illinois and consulting with our wisest and best lawyers [and would like to talk] the suffrage work over with you if you feel strong enough to see me. This is not a question of personality. It is simply a question of how to secure full suffrage for Illinois in the quickest and surest way.
With love and appreciation of all of your good work.
Very sincerely,
