Ellen Wayles Coolidge to Jane Addams, August 9, 1921

Dear Miss Addams,

Every one is dreadfully sorry you are not to be in England before returning home. It is going to need some hard thinking to work out a democratic plan to keep the social [centers] here working together & with other nations. The Americans are responsible for a number of them (in the devastated regions etc) and if they are not kept in the line of progress a great opportunity will be lost.

Respectfully yours,

Ellen Coolidge

P.S. Olivia James writes me your congresses ↑[etc?]↓ have been thrilling. I am writing her to your hotel [written in right margin] since she gives me no address that may reach her. [page 2]
