WOMEN’S INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE FOR PEACE AND FREEDOM
7 November 1922.
My dear Dr. Jacobs:
Your kind letter came after you had heard, I am sure, that we are planning to sail on the "Volendam" in the 21st of November. We hope to have a fairly large delegation from America and best of all, Mrs. Lewis who is President of the Section for the United States. We ought to land in Rotterdam on the 30th of November or the 1st of December. I think we would rather be in a hotel, the [Wittebrug] if that is headquarters during the week before the Conference and during the Conference itself. We are so accustomed to central heating in American that it is probably safer to do that, in addition to the convenience of being at headquarters.
I do hope that Mrs. Catt has been persuaded to stay. Miss Smith has invited me to go around the world with her after the Conference so that I am planning to meet her in the Mediterranean in January. I shall want to talk with you about your impressions of your journey around with Mrs. Catt; I hope that I will get half as much out of it as you did.
I am so glad that I shall see you so soon again and happy to know that you are well enough to be in the midst of an important congress which will much more valuable for me if you are in it.
Always devotedly yours,
Jane Addams. [signed]
