James Taft Hatfield to Jane Addams, March 2, 1908

2 March 1908

Bravissima!

Pray don't let the Roman clergy get the advantage by its well-known tactics of denying your sources of information (or discrediting them). That [page 2] was a gallant defense you made, and I hope it will go on.

Pray don't take the time to acknowledge this note, for the perhaps excessive intimacy of which I apologize.

Very respectfully yours

James Taft Hatfield
