May 13, 1920;
My dear Miss Addams:
The appeal of the Patriarch of All Russia for the children of that Republic was handed to me today by the Representative of the Republic.
Mr. Martens informs me that he has asked you to organize the response. I am writing you to say that His Grace, the Holy Russian Orthodox Archbishop will be glad to [cooperate] with your committee for this most deserving cause.
If it be agreeable to you and in harmony with your plan, he will order the appeal read in all the Orthodox Churches in the United States and Canada.
We will be glad to serve in any manner, and we assure you of our heartfelt gratitude that you have undertaken this most noble task which means the salvation of future Russia.
I have the [honor] to be,
Your servant in Xto,
