McClure explains the publication of an article by William J. Burns in McClure's Magazine about the 1910 Los Angeles Times bombing case to Addams, because it caused her some embarrassment.
McClure asks Addams to ensure that reporters covering her speech to the Chicago Ethical Society only publish summaries, as he wishes to preserve copyright on her forthcoming article in McClures.
McClure writes Addams about adapting her manuscript for A Newer Conscience and an Ancient Evil from seven to five chapters for serialized publication in McClure's Magazine, and he offers her $1,000 for the five articles.
McClure writes Addams to check on the status of the manuscript of A New Conscience and an Ancient Evil, which he is publishing in serial form in McClure's Magazine.
