We have received the letter describing your work which Mrs. Vera Webel sent us in response to our letter over Teddy Milne's signature.
We want you to know how moved we were by your letter. It is wonderful to know that there are good people who are working against this terrible war despite the personal risks that you must be taking.
We will soon be wiring money to your account in Szeged, which you were so kind as to inform us of. We have about $100 at the moment which has been donated for this purpose, and we would like to take a week or two to collect more. Since it will be wired, it is possible that it will reach you before this letter.
We are a small Quaker Meeting of about 30 people in a small city (30,000 people) in western Massachusetts, about a hundred miles west of Boston. Quakers have for three hundred years believed that there are better ways of settling conflicts than war, in which both sides usually lose. Even when the leaders get what they want, the people usually lose.
The money does not come only from our members but from other Quakers in New England and from sympathetic members of other churches as well. In addition to what we are sending you, we have already financed the paper for the next issues of Republicka and Mostovi.
As well as money, we send you our heartfelt prayers and our thanks for your work in the tasks we share.
