WOMAN'S PEACE PARTY
My dear Miss Addams: --
Now that Mr. Wilson is elected an immediate service for the Woman's Peace Party occurs to me. Would it not be effective for all the Branches to write in their own way to the President to say that we feel he was the choice of the people primarily because he has "kept us out of war," so that now we trust he will feel even the greater responsibility to do this in the future, appealing to him to do it under any and all circumstances, promising our support and loyalty to the limit. If you approve, <could> the National Office to send out to the State and their Branches the word to do this at once? Then it might be followed at the Washington meeting by a personal conference with the President.
I do hope you are not [overtaxing] your strength even in these stirring <times> when we so need your advice. We beg of you to reserve yourself for the biggest things and not to attend to too many details. Do not feel it necessary even to answer this letter but hand it over to the Peace Party with your approval or otherwise.
With most cordial greetings, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Hannah Clothier Hull. [signed]
P.S. Would you approve also at the same time pledging our cooperation in acting on the Hensley Amendment to the Naval Appropriation Bill?
