After reading Addams' article in Ladies' Home Journal, Pomeroy asks Addams if she would be of any use physically helping at Hull-House, because she has no money to send.
Osgood apologizes to Addams for not staying in Chicago longer, but praises Hull House and the new Illinois branch of the American Association for Labor Legislation.
Addams reports on Hull-House's facilities and social services on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary, providing a sense of the costs of maintaining buildings and programs, and ending with an appeal for financial support.
