NEW ORLEANS, February 12 -- 1927
My dear Miss Addams:
The Conference held in Louisiana recently will surely interest you and so I am sending you a program of it.
It seems such a hopeful sign that such a Conference should be held in our section of the country.
We are so near to Mexico here and propaganda for annexation to that country has been so violent here that we feel very happy at having been able to stage an interesting Conference on our Relations with Latin-America as was done at the State University at Baton Rouge on February 3d, 4th and 5th.
We still have compulsory military training for two [more] years at our State University but we have some elements there that are faithfully working for Peace.
Dr. Chas. W. Pipkin is a young instructor in the Government Department of our State University who was able to persuade the authorities that a Conference on International Relations and American Diplomacy would be a fine move for the State University to make and so we were happy to have quite an audience to listen to the interesting addresses that were given at the time of the meetings.
We hope to make such a conference possible annually and if we do, may we hope to have you speak for us some day?
We were all so distressed at your having been ill in Geneva and later in Chicago and the Louisiana League for Peace and Freedom joins me in the hope that you may have quite regained your health by now.
Faithfully yours for Peace,
