Dear Miss Addams:
Mrs. [Grover] Clark's draft for $200.00 is on its way to [Peking].
I also sent M. Doty a check for $57.00, a gift of the Boston Branch to the Maison, and a check for $200, the balance of the $1200. from the American Fund. To date M. Doty has received, since Nov. 1926, $1200.00 from the American Fund, and $400 from the "Home Estate Fund" -– a total of $1600.00.

After all our many changes of plans so that I might meet our small son Frederick in Boston, the telegraph operator made a mistake and I had a message asking me to meet him at 420 P.M.
He arrived in Boston at 240 P.M. About 3 o'clock I got very nervous about him and went to the North Station on home ahead of time. We finally found each other [page(s) missing]
