My dear Miss [Addams]:
I am not going to attempt in a note to discuss the many interesting suggestions which your letter of the 17th and its enclosures make in reference to our tentative restatement of principles. I hope, instead, that when you are in New York the first week in March I may have an opportunity to discuss these points with you and especially a very delicate, and I believe, very significant phase of our Mexican relations which has to do particularly with the possibility of the Administration preventing the use of the Mexican situation as an important weapon in the hands of their political opponents in the coming campaign.
The enclosed copy of a letter from a man who has known Mexico for thirty years to Secretary Daniels will indicate what I have in mind. Please consider this material for the present as confidential because if it became apparent that we as an Association were interested in the appointment here suggested, it would be distinctly disadvantageous.
Won't you let us know how long you are going to be in New York?
Very sincerely yours,
ENCL.
