My dear Miss Blackwell: -

Absence from the city for a considerable
period is my excuse for sending you this belated
acknowledgment of the receipt of your wonderful
story and interpretation of Madame Breshkovsky, –
your book "The Little Grandmother of the Russian
Revolution."  I have not yet had an opportunity
to read the book but a hasty glance through it
convinces me that I am to have much enjoyment in
doing so.

May I say that no feature of Russia, as
I saw it, impressed me quite so deeply as the
character of this wonderful woman, whose fight for
the liberty of her people has been one of the great
beacon lights of the world. I met her often in
Petrograd and her splendid faith and patience, her
unswerving devotion to the cause, and her untiring
efforts even though long past three score years and
ten, have affected me profoundly.

With appreciation of your courtesy and
thanks for your consideration, believe me,

Sincerely yours,
[?] Thompson

Miss Alice Stone Blackwell,
