My dear Miss Addams:

I have your telegram saying that you would attend the annual meeting when you are East, about January twelfth, but members of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, whom I have talked with, wish very much to have the meeting not held now, but in the Spring. Mrs. Leach, for example, feels that we are getting our organization in running order, that we have a lot of plans just started, but that everything is too new to talk about as yet, and in the Spring something more [definite] will be ready for discussion. I agree with Mrs. Leach for I certainly have nothing yet to report at an annual meeting, so I hope that you agree that a few more months of work and then get together to talk and tell about it, is the way to go about it, and will be more satisfactory to all concerned. Certainly I have not made good yet, and you would be ashamed of your choice of Chairman at any January meeting.

I will look after the Manchester ladies whether they arrive at six-thirty or ten-thirty.

Affectionately,

Mabel H. Kittredge [signed]
