Dear Miss Addams,

We all join in sending you loving greetings for Christmas & the New Year. It was such a pleasure to see you in Geneva & in Dublin this year, -- for me, -- but Mother was awfully disappointed that you weren't in London at all. I do hope that you have felt stronger since Geneva & that next year you will keep really well.

Father is going to America again this January. He sails on the 12th, and this time Gina, my youngest sister, is going with him. I envy her very much! They hope are looking forward [page 2] to seeing you when they are in Chicago, -- but I am not at all sure when, or for how long, that will be. Father is only staying one month altogether, so I am afraid they will be rather rushed. I hope Gina will be able to stay longer. This is her first visit.

Since I came back from Geneva I have plucked up my courage & actually spoken several times, more or less in public. I can't help feeling that it's rather comic, -- however it really hasn't gone too badly. And this last fortnight I have been staying with Dr Hilda [Clark's] sister in Somerset & have been going about speaking in the schools in that country, about the League of Nations. That I thoroughly enjoyed.

Again very best wishes

Yours affectionately

Adela I. Coit.
P.S. I am enclosing a small gift to Hull House for Christmas.
