Judge Edward C. Brown,
1236 No. State St.,
Chicago, Ill.

Dear Sir <Mr. Brown:>

As responsible members of the Administrative Council and as contributors to the work, we earnestly request your attention to the needs of the American Association for Labor Legislation.

This Society <, as indicated by the enclosed folder,> has already rendered an eminent service in guiding intelligently and conservatively the Federal Government, and the governments of many States, in framing laws which have already diminished suffering, disease, weakness and death among the working people. We <in Illinois,> ought at least to send <contribute> between two and three thousand dollars to New York <this Association,> and assist in the investigations and publications of this organization.

We should be very glad to have you send your check for any amount that it seems to you [wish] to give, to Miss Jane Addams at the Hull House, 800 South Halsted Street. Proper acknowledgements will also be given from the New York <National> office.

Yours respectfully,

Jane Addams
