Dear Miss Addams:

I am ashamed not to have returned this letter before. I have been up to my ears in work and am just getting things straightened out on my desk again. Thank you for letting me see the letter. Miss Balch sent me a copy of her letter to Mrs. Villard. She feels evidently that any direct affiliation on the part of a group, with the International would very much confuse matters both here and abroad. I don't see how according to the Constitution of the International there could be more than one representing group from a country.

I enclose some new names. They keep coming in. I am very eager to know what officers are chosen in Chicago. I hope the meeting is a great success.

Very sincerely yours,

Eleanor Daggett Karsten [signed]
