December 1st, 1919
My dear Mr. Thomas:
I am quite willing to insist as far as possible that the money contributed by the various German societies be sent through the Friends Service Committee but, of course, I am at a great disadvantage in having no printed material which contains a statement of the arrangements made with Mr. Hoover.
I am sure I can do much better as soon as he is willing to have such a statement openly used. From all I hear, his attitude toward publicity will change about January the 1st and I suppose we must wait until then.
I understand, of course, that he has no relations with the other collectors but the German-Americans have confidence in the German Red Cross and other relief societies and something is being done, I feel ↑[illegible two words] then↓
Enclosed find a check for ten dollars sent by Miss Amelia Sears. I shall be glad to have a receipt sent to her at 168 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago.
Sincerely yours,
Jane Addams. [signed]
