Chronological Index to the Thomas Correspondence included in The Jane Addams Papers, 1860-1960, with Notes on Content

The page is part of our history of W. I. Thomas. It lists the correspondence from Thomas to Jane Addams, included in her collected papers. We hope to be able to reproduce the actual correspondence at some time in the future.
