My dear Miss Addams:
Your letter, of course, is splendid. I can not, however, find out just how many of our members had received the notice from Geneva. None of the Pennsylvania Board had received it, so I am wondering whether it has been sent only to those who usually pay their dues at this time. If so, I should be sorry to disturb the whole membership with the letter and to give you the extra trouble. Would you be willing to write to Madeleine Doty to inquire, and ask her also to cable you just how far the notice has gone, before ↑deciding to↓ sending the letter? I think the delay will do no harm. [page 2] Dorothy Detzer will be in Chicago in about ten days, and by that time perhaps she will have more information, and you and she can decide together what is best to be done. Your letter does not seem at all like an apology, -- just a friendly little message which I do not like to deprive the membership of receiving as a matter of fact. I am suggesting a little addition ↑if you approve↓ in case you decide to send it. --
I am wondering whether you are coming east this fall, and when there would be an opportunity to see you? --
Of course you know that Anne Martin is going to do some organization work for us and that many opportunities seem to be opening up if we can only raise funds to embrace them.
I hope you are feeling in fine shape physically. From all that I hear about your activities in Dublin I can not wonder that you had a reaction later. I do pray that you will save yourself whenever possible. -- Thank you so much for what you offer to do in this little affair of dues.
