Dear Miss Addams:-
I have just written a letter to Miss Culver telling her about our investigations. The institution which we have established by the way, we have decided to call the American Bureau of Industrial Research. I [wish] that Miss Culver could see her way clear to give it a permanent endowment for [I am] sure that such an institution entirely disconnected with the government or with any other institution can accomplish a great deal and that it is a [permanent] field of usefulness in the scientific investigation of industrial questions. If you have any convenient opportunity to speak to Miss Culver I shall be very glad and I shall be glad also if you will tell her something about the University of Wisconsin.
I trust that you left us feeling that the state university has a special mission.
Faithfully yours,
