Dear Miss Addams,
I am so sorry to be late in sending you my best wishes for a happy New Year. But I am [traveling] in England for 6 weeks and am very busy in seeing, hearing and -- speaking, that days are much [too] short. Our English friends surpass each other in their kindness towards me and I am glad to see them at work. They have arranged a great many very good meetings for me (the English Home-Office did not allow me to speak in public!) and I am very pleased to have the opportunity of getting in touch with so many different circles of people, many of whom (the women [& men] students at the Manchester University [p.c.], to whom I spoke several times) had not been of our opinion before. Our Manchester Branch did splendid work for disarmament and I admired Mrs. Robinson's capacity of [organizing]. I think [page 2] she would be a very good [organizer] of an International Congress! The International House in London is in full activity and Mrs. Swanwick is very busy in completing the House and in carrying out all her new ideas concerning the work of the English Branch.
In trains, trams -- everywhere I felt a strong change of mind in the public opinion and I hope, 1922 will bring us a good step forward in our work and towards our aims.
We should so very much ↑like↓ to know, whether your new book has yet been published and whether the permission to translate it into German has yet been obtained. Would you be so kind to give me word about it to: 2 III, [Ainmillerstraße] Munich, Bavaria, Germany, as I expect to be back in Munich the second week in January.
Thanking you very much in advance I am with best wishes
Yours very sincerely
Gertrud Baer.
Will you, please, give my greetings & wishes to Dr. Hamilton & Mrs. [Kohn]!
