Dear Miss Addams

I think it's nice to know who ones sincere admirers are so I write a line to tell you of the really deep feeling that my Husband expressed concerning you when I mentioned your name and gave him your letter today. He said that if God ↑were↓ to set himself to make a perfect example of what a woman should be that he couldn't do any better than simply make you just as you are, and that there were certain figures [page 2] who set themselves up sometimes to [criticize] you and that it "it made him tired."

I think, thanks to you, the difficulty with my son will be cleared up and that I shall be able to keep him with tutors as I wished till next fall.

Many thanks to you, I am greatly relieved.

Yours most sincerely

Eva Sikelianos
