Dear [Miss] Addams:
This is Thursday evening and I can think of nothing but the great gathering which is expressing to you its reverence, gratitude and affection.
Only in this poor way can I express mine. What I learned from you and your associates in your first winter at Hull House and in later years changed my life, giving me above all far wider sympathies and a stronger desire to see God's Kingdom come here on the Earth.
I trust that [Miss] Starr, Mrs. [page 2] Bowen, Dr. Hamilton, Graham Taylor and Mary McDowell are with you tonight, sharing your happiness. And how I wish that Robert Woods might have been!
What a rare privilege it would be to your many devoted friends in Boston -- and to me also!
May you have many more years of happy usefulness.
Faithfully yours
Charles Fredk Bradley
January 20th 1927.
