My dear Mr. Andrews:
I am sorry to have so long delayed answering your letter containing the article on the work of the Association.
I should be very glad to write a new beginning and a new ending and to sign it if you care to have me, but that it seemed to me containing too much ↑praise↓ of the Association. [written in right margin] ↑not too much but not quite [illegible]↓
I asked a friend at the University of Chicago in whose judgment I have great confidence to go over it. He took exceptions to the claim on page five that it was the Association which made the [unemployment] service of 1914-15 and of 1920-21.
I think on the whole I will send you his criticisms on it. I am not sending his name as it does not seem quite fair as he wrote the letter to me, but I think the tone of the article is a little unfortunate. Perhaps it would be better to send it to someone else for whom it would require less changing.
I have always as you know been enormously interested in the Association and should like to send my congratulations on [its] twenty-five years of achievement. I remember the Paris meeting very well and am sorry I cannot use the article just as it is.
With all good wishes to Mrs. Andrews and yourself, I am,
faithfully yours,
