Louis Paul Lochner to Jane Addams, July 30, 1915

The Chicago Peace Society
116 SOUTH MICHIGAN AVENUE

Chicago, July 30, 1915.

Miss Jane Addams,
Hull House,
800 S. Halsted St.,
Chicago.

My dear Miss Addams:

Enclosed is a copy of the invitation sent to the five members of the especial committee, asking them to meet in my office at four o'clock on Tuesday next.

I also enclose a draft for a letter to be sent to the persons indicated on the sheet enclosed, which I would ask you kindly to criticize before I send it out. I hope that the text of the invitation is such that the people who come will understand in advance that they are supposed to be in sympathy with the project if they come at all.

I also enclose a copy of the minutes of our informal meeting today.

Very sincerely yours,

Louis P. Lochner [signed]
Secretary.

<P.S. I think the ideas are beginning to work on Sen. Burton. On the way home he said that your talk had given him an entirely new angle on the situation. He will think further on the subject of a standing [commission].>
