Dear Sister Kelley
A word J Lathrop dropped quite teased me about your plans -- that perhaps you would not go.
I can't believe that our hectic time in Washington had any thing to do with your decision. While we had the U.S. passport on Wednesday at four, we didn't have the [illegible] French visé until the next ↑Thursday↓ afternoon and sent off the letter from the steam ship office as soon as we knew about the visés. I should have telegraphed there of course if I had your home address, but we counted on your getting the letter at your office next morning. You could have nothing that [wrecks?] it [illegible] so long [as the?] [missing text] [page 2]
Please don't give up going, so many good people are falling off that it would quite break my heart to lose you.

Always devotedly yours
J Addams
Mrs Mumford is with Miss Safford this week.
