59 West 44th St.
New York Jan. 6th 1903,

Dear Mrs Jackson,

Your note [received]. I
had Mrs Powell's letter,
with the [right?] date, the 10th
I shall be very glad to take
supper with you at the
Friends Meeting and will
be there. I write to ask if
there is any particular topic
you would like to [have?] me
treat? I had thought of
speaking of "Indirect Methods
of Working for Social Purity".
Will that be [agreeable?]?
If not I will take
another theme, Yours sincerely

Anna Garlin Spencer.
