Jane Addams to Anita McCormick Blaine, December 26, 1911

My dear Mrs Blaine

The huge box of beautiful flowers brought joy and comfort to many people both ill and hale.

You were most kind to send them to me and I wish you might have heard all the appreciation of the posies and of you from the residents as they made little nosegays & their favorite "rich and poor." They all thank you with me. [page 2]

With sincere gratitude and affection I am always devotedly yours
