Jane Addams to James Weldon Johnson, September 29, 1925

September 28, 1925

My dear Mr. Johnson:

I am very grateful to you for the book which you sent me. I have wanted for a long time to be more intelligent about the "Spirituals." A cursory glance shows me that the book not only contains the most beautiful ones, but what I have been wanting in the way of interpretation.

I hope to have the pleasure of seeing your wife and yourself when you are next in Chicago.

Thanking you, I am,

sincerely yours,

Jane Addams [signed]
