Ely invites Addams to lecture during the summer session at the University of Wisconsin, suggesting it would give her an opportunity to edit the talks for use in Newer Ideals of Peace.
Addams declines Page's request to publish her essays, stating that she is too busy with the Chicago School Board and another book already promised for the Macmillan Company.
Addams informs her publisher that she has sent out a manuscript of her latest book to Ely for proofreading, but he will not return from a trip for several weeks. Addams would prefer that he give his input on the manuscript, but if Brett cannot wait that long, she will rush the process.
Brett responds to Addams' previous letter and assures her that she can take however long she wants to with proofreading her manuscript, as long as "it may be in our hands for successful publication at no distant day".
Addams writes to Ely about sending her manuscript for Newer Ideals of Peace in to The Macmillan Company, and summarizes for him a letter they sent her.
