Martin B. Madden to Jane Addams, June 16, 1906

June 16, 1906.

My dear Miss Addams:--

I thank you for your letter of the 14th inst. in which you enclose me a copy of a letter sent to Speaker Cannon. The suggestions made are valuable and appreciated.

I have for a long time thought no legislation affecting immigration should be enacted until a thorough study of the question is made by competent people. It is hard to say whether at this time a commission along the lines of your suggestion could be created. I wish it could be.

Again thanking you, I beg to remain,

Very sincerely yours,

Martin B Madden [signed]
