Jane Addams to Dorothy North, January 16, 1912

January 16, 1912.

My dear Miss North: --

May I assure you of my very sincere appreciation of your generous check which came yesterday. I always care most for money which comes to us from people who know the House well and I am sure you know how grateful I am, not only for the check, but for all the work you put in month after month.

Our endowment fund is growing very slowly but I am afraid if this cold weather continues I shall avail myself of your permission to use your check for relief.

Thanking you again and with cordial greetings to your Mother, I am

Sincerely yours,

Jane Addams. [signed]
