User-Contributed Transcription 3[letterhead]   140 NORTH DEARBORN STREET CHICAGO"Make the world safe from Democracy"  This is mine but you can have it.  I dont know what will come out of this war neither does any one else. I simplywant Germany beaten. Of course I find myself with some new & strange company & ? with many [?] that I miss & love but such is the way of life  All of it has in no way changed my sympathies, my general attitude my Rebelious nature my devotion to the poor who dont want it my love for my friends  I am to old to change all of these & dont want to change them. I was born a fool & will be a fool to the end.   I just got back from Washington where I was urging the officials to be more lenient & humane to those whoif they had the power would be as cruel as the rest   I dont know as it did any good - I saw the President & the Attorney General & others - but whether they remember what I said after the next visitor arrives I dont know - probably they will not.   Still Mary I have had two very good visits with the President
