My dear Miss Woods --

Thank you very much for your check which I have just sent on to Mrs Post. I hope we can have enough of the Johnson lecture printed to send on for Vilma Glücklich to use as one of her bulletins, do you know how many she requires after the U.S.A. is taken care of?

We are not printing a list of the Contributors in the International report and doubtless Miss Balch has explained the situation, so of course we could not put national funds into the Int. report & took those out of the total, I am sure she will make it clear. I do not think we could mention private hospitality [etc.] I am very anxious [page 2] that to the Europeans we should follow the usual custom of reporting our Congresses. ↑We can make up two other kind of report for the U.S.A. -- that is for a report of the National Section.↓

I hope we will send a copy of the report to the Contributors who gave $10.00 and over, using the $5.00 ↑over↓ as a list to secure Associate members from. Again I am sure that Miss Balch has expounded our idea!

I am sorry about the difficulty in the list of U.S.A. associate members -- I am sure it can be straightened out and in the meantime we could give everyone the benefit of the doubt by regarding them as I am having my list sent on to Mrs Post as well. [page 3]

We will be delighted to see you at Hull's Cove ↑there are so many things to talk about but↓ the more nearly at the end of the month, will find us here, our guests have changed their dates unexpectedly next week we are quite "full up" with guests as the English say and then empty again. ↑Perhaps you can suggest two possible dates.↓

I have just telegraphed Mrs Post to send all the reports Mr Ball requests -- we must at least not seem niggardly to Europe about the English relation. Affectionately yours

Jane Addams

P.S. I was so anxious to make our International sum $5000.00 that I paid my dues for the next five years (25.00) and I am [inclosing] the duplicate deposit check as my receipt.

Could I be put down in the Associate membership ↑list↓ as thus paid?

I have filed a statement with Mde Ramondt, the financial sec'y for $5000.00 just enough for 10 months as we promise to send 500.00 a month to Geneva. It would be fine to get 1000 members to make up the rest for next year. Will you let me see the appeal for Associates before [it goes out]?
