My dear Mrs. Juchacz:
J
We are so happy to be able to write you today thatthe Professor of Religion at Wellesley College, oneof our most prominent women's universities, atWellesley, Mass., has invited you to come and staywith her in her apartment in Wellesley, until April.
We had written to Professor Louise Smith about you,following her proposal to take someone into her home,as her contribution to refugee service. You will haveno special duties to perform for Miss Smith, but ofcourse, will be expected to share with her the responsi-bility of keeping up the apartment.
I believe that Professor Smith's knowledge of Germanis limited, so that you will thereby have an excellentopportunity to learn and improve your own English .
Will you write me promptly, informing me whether youare willing to accept this invitation? With the samemail, we are writing to Miss Firestone, and asking herto plan with you for the trip to Wellesley, as well ashelp you make application for permission to travel tothat point. There are special application forms forpermission to travel, issued by the District Attorney'soffice, which you can obtain from that office% 3B possiblyMiss Firestone has them; but you must appear at theDistrict Attorney's office yourself in order to filethe application.
We are trying to work out arrangements whereby youwould receive pocket money during this period, so thatyou would not be dependent on Miss Smith for personalnecessities.
With best wishes to you, and hoping that these planssucceed,
