Dear Miss Addams,
I wrote some time ago asking our Branch of the F.o.R. in America to approach you in the matter of sending us your photo, and a few notes on your life. They have not answered, so I am venturing to appeal to you myself. If, however, they should also write, please connect their ↑letter↓ with this present one.

A friend of ours in Lettland is working for the F.o.R. and finds it very difficult to make any headway. So she came on the idea of writing a series of articles for a women's paper dealing with women peace workers, and asked us to send all the material we could get together, as she is fairly new to the movement and [did] not know so well how to set about it herself. We have already sent her some photos, of Austrians and British women and shall send more, but of course that is not enough. Bertha von Suttner's picture appeared in the last number, with some notes on her life and work. It is very good to write also about living women, so I hope you will be good enough to help us by sending your photo and the salient points of your peace activity. I shall be grateful if you would mention also the names of American women besides yourself to whom we should apply.
The point is, of course, not to glorify the workers but to make the work known under any form to the readers of Lettland.
With kind regards,
Yours in the Fellowship,
Beatrice B. Hoysted. [signed]
