Budapest, July 1926.
My dear Miss Addams,
I hope that you will not resent my sending an open letter to the Executive Meeting, in order to explain my absence and to resign from the secretaryship of the Executive Committee which has been confided to me at Washington.
It is so difficult to make people understand that one can resign from a job for merely ethical reasons that I have been asked from different quarters: what has been going on against you? On the other hand, those who are not in sympathy with me personally might suppose reasons which are injurious to me. [page 2]
In leaving the Executive, I beg to thank you once more for the great kindness of helping me in 1922 to get over a painful situation of professional life. I see now more than before how very generous your invitation has been, great because you did not consider me the person of confidence a secretary ought to be for the President.
May I now, reassuming the task of a chairman in the Hungarian Section, ask you for the great [favor] of another visit to Budapest? The board of our Section is extending to you a very cordial invitation to come and see our poor little country before you return to America and to give an encouraging message to the advocates of Peace here who are so depressed when they look around on this down broken continent.
With the very best wishes for the work in Dublin and Geneva
thankfully yours
Vilma Glückich
