Dear Jane Addams,
Just a line to enclose the receipt for our March allowance ↑for which many thanks↓. I trust you received the long letter I wrote you over a week ago. I am still busy trying to clean up all the work that was left over from the Executive Committee. I hope to get the full copy of the minutes off to you the end of this week. I wonder what you think about sending two women to China. The enclosed letter to Mrs. Hull about the trip to China was to have been revised and signed by Catherine Marshall and Madame Duchêne before they left Liège and sent to Mrs. Hull. But Catherine Marshall took the letter to England with her and I fear she did not get it off so I am sending a copy of the original unrevised letter to you for your information.
Of course we were all much excited here about your cable that the League might have a legacy. I am cabling today. I have had to wait for answers from Martha Larsen-Jahn and Louie Bennett which is the reason why I could not cable before. The answers are as follows: Baer, Duchêne, Glücklich, Hirschmann, Ragaz yes; Marshall advises trust; Bennett and Larsen-Jahn still not heard from; Heymann [traveling] and cannot be reached.
I wonder what the money will be used for. I do hope for something permanent and lasting. Of course it would be a great relief to have it used for the trip to China as it is going to be very hard to raise that money, still I feel it would be better to put it into buying the house so that every year we would have the benefit of it rather than using it up all at once. If we bought the house it would save us rent every year and that would be a big item.
I am also enclosing an advance copy of "Pax."
My love to you,
Madeleine Doty [signed]
