Haag, 23/III/27.

My dear Miss Addams,

Enclosed are a letter to the women of China and a letter of Miss Marshall to me. I enclose also the last one [then] you will know what Marshall hopes you will do and I need not to repeat. I broke my left upper arm, what is very painful and makes it nearly impossible for me to write.

The society of women belonging to the Sun Yat Sen's group has its own name but knowing that Mrs Sun Yat Sen is their leader and in orderly times she lives in Canton I think the best thing is you address the letter to

Mrs. Sun Yat Sen,
in Canton.
Prov. or Distr. [Guangdong] China.

Such a letter will probably reach her and through her the other advanced women of China.

I feel sure the other members of the board and Exec. will have given you a full account of all what has happened in Liège and where it is very tiresome for me to write with one arm bandaged, I better stop. I hope you are feeling well and enjoy the beautiful spring weather.

With my love and admiration

Yours

Aletta H. Jacobs.
