My dear Miss Addams: --
I am enclosing to you the latest correspondence between the National Council of Women & ourselves. I do hope it will not make you too unhappy. Miss Balch & I both felt that we should resign but our younger members of the Board were determined not to do so under fire. Of course we may do so in January, & I shall [page 2] want to have your further advice as well as Mrs. Mead's, Mrs. Spencer's & Mrs. Post's. Our Board is to meet in Washington on January 18 again.
So far we have been rather pleased with Dorothy Detzer. As Miss Balch points out, we broke Miss Woods down with our work. We should not try to get a research, field, & office person all in one. We need three people to do these three jobs. We have just written to [Jeannette] Rankin to know if she will go into the field, and [page 3] we have heard of a Miss Fisher in Baltimore who might help us in the kind of scholarly work ↑for↓ which D. D. is not fitted. Miss Balch likes Dorothy D.'s office work very much.
I am hurrying to get these off.
Always affectionately
Hannah Clothier Hull
P.S. We missed you greatly in N.Y.
