Richard Theodore Ely to Alice Hamilton and Jane Addams, May 11, 1904

May 11, 1904.

My dear [Miss] Hamilton:

I have your letter concerning the proper costume for [Miss] Addams. It is really [a] matter of some importance but I am not an authority on the subject. I shall, however, make inquiry of [some] competent authority concerning university millinery and give you the desired information. My impression is that the hood [is] furnished by the university.

I am delighted to learn that you and other residents expect to accompany Miss Addams.

Faithfully yours,
