Miss Lida Stokes Adams, 
1921 Green Street, 
Philadelphia, Pa.
My dear Miss Adams:-
Rosika Schwimmer is really here. We went down to 
Washington to present a petition from the International
Alliance and she is now in Ohio helping the campaign there.
There is a large colony of Hungarians in Cleveland. How
many there may be in Pennsylvania I do not know , but here are
three classes to which she ought especially to appeal. First, 
the Gungarians; second, the Germans, for she speaks German
as well as Hungarian and, third, to educated classes of Jews.
She is not an orthodox Jewess. I do not know the difference
between unorthodox and orthodox, but I believe there are as 
many kinds as there are orthodox and unorthodox Christians; 
so I do not know how unorthodox she is, but I imagine she
would appeal especially to the classes in the ethical societies
and to German Jews.
I hope that Pennsylvania will arrange for her to 
speak there some time. I think we may keep her occupied up 
to November 6th, but I want her to have plenty to do for she 
needs to make money. She has none. She is working in Ohio
at $50. per week and expenses. What her permanent price may 
be I do not know. If you want her in Pennsylvania let us
know.
Cordially yours, 
CCC.R.
