Miss Jane Addams,
Hull House, Chicago.

Dear Miss Addams,

Having been unfortunate enough to have been out of town now over a fortnight and, therefore, not in Chicago the evening of your dinner, I find now also that [through] some mishap a telegram outlined by me to you was not sent. May I then at this time and by these means add my humble word of devotion and gratitude to you to the many testimonies of devotion that have [page 2] reached you and to repeat what I said in the article I wrote for the Reform Advocate in the course of my regular contributions to that Weekly (now edited by Dr. Gerson B. Levi as successor to Dr. Emil G. Hirsch) that we of Chicago might almost be thankful for the prejudicial criticism offered, so as to give us the right and the opportunity to have our appreciation become vocal.

We hope and pray for your continued health and happy labor for humanity and our beloved Chicago for many more years and remain with sincerest regards from Dr. Reis and myself,

Yours faithfully

Nannie A Reis
