Dear Miss Addams:

I enclose the checks which have come to me in response to our appeal on behalf of the Barnett Memorial Fellowship. They are as follows:

Miss Harriet T. Righter
620 Broadway
$25.00
Mrs. C. V. R. Wright
237 East 104th Street
2.00
Miss Alma Guy
237 East 104th Street
5.00
Mr. S. M. Nelson
237 East 104th Street
25.00
Mrs. Jacob Riis
48 Henry Street
25.00
Mrs. Ernest F. Carter
115 East 69th Street
5.00

I am sorry that our efforts thus far have not brought forth better results. Unfortunately we did not get started very early and our local committee at a recent meeting decided that it would be much better to defer any active [efforts] to collect funds until the fall. The people whom we would approach are practically all away for the summer and it is not a good time to attempt to raise money for anything but "fresh air" work. I hope that by November we shall be able to raise the quota assigned to us. At all events, we shall do our best. I am sorry to have to write you in this way and I hope that deferring the matter will not seriously inconvenience you or the English Committee.

With kind regards, I am

Yours faithfully

Gaylord S. White.

Miss Jane Addams,
800 South Halsted Street,
Chicago, Illinois.
