Newton C. Parke to Jane Addams, January 12, 1917

CHICAGO. ILL. January 12, 1917.

Dear Miss Addams:

The International News Service, representing more than 500 newspapers in the United States, is sending out to its clients by mail a series of signed statements from prominent persons on topics of nation-wide interest.

We would appreciate it greatly if you would favor us with a statement of from 500 to 700 words upon the movement for a permanent peace after the present war. If you see fit to comply with this request will you please send us a photograph which we may send to our papers to accompany the published article?

Very truly yours,
