Arthur Burrage Farwell to Jane Addams, January 25, 1927

Chicago, Jan. 25, 1927.

Dear Miss Addams: --

Congratulations on the fine and well deserved testimonials to you of your fine work in Chicago, in the United States and in the world.

I think the statement of Dr. Norwood, Minister of the City Temple, London, England, will fit your case:

"She who meets sorrow without bitterness and is not coarsened by prosperity, who is defeated but fights on, or is triumphant but remains humble; who carries the hopefulness of youth into the deepening shadows of age, and when the sun is setting is confident of the morn -- this is the woman who has lived well."

Yours very truly,
