My dear Irma Tischer,
I did not know just what changes were to be made in the international office by the Executive Committee.
There was a discussion last fall as to the need of more trained service in book-keeping and stenography rather than so much general clerical service and I suppose the proposed changes are the result of that general policy. I had personally nothing to do with the changes beyond insisting that there must be no changes until November 1st 1927 and that adequate notice must be given.
I hope very much that in the six months before you that you will be able to find a satisfactory position. I do not think that the amount of the [salary] is so much the matter under discussion as a general reorganization of the office. I have never interfered in matters of that sort and I am sure that it would be unwise.
If Miss Thomas' plan for Olaf comes through we shall hope to see him often at Hull-House. I do hope that Miss Thomas' hand is improving, we are ashamed that we treated her so badly in the U.S.A. and I am sure that you find it hard to forgive us.
With sincere appreciation for all the fine effort you have put into the League and with affectionate greetings to you and the rest of the household, I am devotedly yours
