My dear Miss Addams:
Today I have sent a deferred cable to Madeleine Doty. It was necessary that I cable her about the bulletins and so I was very glad to get your letter so that I could include the two. As to the bulletins, we are having so much trouble with Customs, etc., and Miss Doty has not complied with the Post Office regulations for second class mail so that I have had to stop her sending out any more until she hears from me.
I should be very glad if you write a letter to be sent to the International members and if it can come along quickly we could get it out before Christmas. If it were sent as a Christmas letter [it] might bring in some good Christmas offerings to the League.
Tom Harrison and a number of the working members of the Youth group have been in town lately and are urging me to go out to the conference at Evanston on the 29th. In fact, they are making some kind of an effort to see if they could even at this late date get me on the program to speak. I doubt that very much, but I am awaiting results. They expect it to be quite a stirring convention. I naturally hope very much that the opportunity opens so that I can get to it.
I do hope you are feeling better and that you are quite recovered from the fall.
I had dinner last night with young Bob La Follette, who had just been sworn into Congress yesterday morning. I cannot [page 2] get over the marvelous opportunity he has with his youth and his experience and his present position.
I had quite a long talk with Senator Wheeler a few days ago at a party to which we were both invited and he seems to think that the Court question will be shelved as soon as it is brought up on the 17th, [though] he is one of the few radicals who is going to vote for it.
I am hoping that within a few days I shall be able [to] get a chance to see Senator Borah again and find out if he will be willing to introduce our bill in a short time.
Ever affectionately yours,
