Milwaukee, Feb. 11. 1917
My dear Miss Addams:
Just a line to let you know that after my final disillusionment at New York I came straight [through] to Milwaukee, to rest up a bit before plunging into new activities. I have not had a rest in one and a half years, and the worry of recent weeks, coupled with the strenuous use to which my New York friends put me when the Emergency Peace Federation was revived, have made it extremely desirable that I go into the family garage for a complete overhauling. Within a week, however, I hope to be in trim again, and I shall then come down to Chicago to see you and my other friends.
I don't care a rap about the treatment accorded me by Mr. Liebold (Mr. Ford never saw me after his return to New York from Washington). But I do feel deeply as an American the shameful way in which my colleagues in Europe, who have faced ridicule and have made sacrifices to ally oursel themselves with us, are summarily dismissed as if they were so many hired men.
With kindest regards,
Always affectionately yours,
Louis P. Lochner [signed]
