My dear Madeline Doty:
I got home yesterday morning and found three letters from you. I am enormously relieved and in spite of the difficulties in Paris it seems to me as if the outlook for the Congress is fine.
I have always known of course of the two temperamental trends in our membership but I suppose they were never quite so [boldly] ↑clearly↓ exposed as in the Paris Conference.
I am enclosing a copy taken from our bank book showing the exact dates each month when the 2500 Swiss francs were sent from Chicago. As you see, we never sent more than one a month. I think that Vilma [Glücklich] probably received one the first of the year (in January) that had been sent in December or something of that sort, but if there is $500 ahead towards the Congress I am of course only too delighted. We are sending one today, April 2, 1926 and also $40 which was collected in the Chicago W.I.L. toward [Anne] Zueblin’s salary, but that is a separate gift and goes in a separate draft.
I am delighted there is a prospect of your going on another year. I expect to see Roger Baldwin in a day or two when he speaks in Chicago and shall try my best to induce him to go over to the summer school.
We had a delightful journey in the West Indies and much food for thought. I saw the committee in Haiti and their report is most interesting. I am going to write a longer letter in a day or two but am getting this off now with the assurance of my admiration and affection.
↑P.S. You may not care for the [material] to file.↓
