Jane Addams to Lillian D. Wald, August 27, 1901

My dear Miss Wald,

As Sept. draws near we remember the suggestion that possibly Miss Brown and yourself were coming to Hull-House at that time.

I am sure that I need not tell you how much we all anticipate a visit from you nor how uncommon glad we will be to see you. The house is torn up with repairs and building but next Sept. ↑week↓ it will have [page 2] subsided somewhat, and even if it does not we will be most happy to have you in it.

Margaret Kelly spoke so affectionately of you all that I am sure you would be quite touched to hear her and the entire household hopes that you are coming.  Will you please extend a cordial invitation to Miss Brown and believe me always

affectionately yours,

Jane Addams
