Jane Addams to Stephen Samuel Wise, December 26, 1916

My dear Dr. Wise,

We missed you very much in Washington although, of course, we understood the uncertainty from the beginning. We really had a most successful meeting and a touching one withal. You were very good to think of Hull-House in connection with Mr. Gibson but my plans for this winter are necessarily so uncertain from day to day that I [page 2] think it might be better for him to come under more formal auspices.

I have sent your letter to Miss Monroe, editor of "Poetry" and I will want to cooperate with any one who is fortunate enough to secure him for Chicago.

With cordial greetings for the new year to Mrs. Wise and yourself, I am

Faithfully yours,

Jane Addams [signed]
