I received your letter enclosing ticket for basket ball carnival December 26th, and meant to have sent a check before now.1 I enclose my check for five dollars, which will pay for the ticket, and you can assign the balance to any activity connected with the Settlement you may choose.2
Wishing you a happy and successful New Year, I am
Yours very truly, CWC/FLCorrespondent: Russell W. Jelliffe (1891–1980) and his wife Rowena Woodham Jelliffe (1892–1992) were White social workers in Cleveland who were both active in a variety of social justice causes and jointly ran the Playhouse Settlement (later Karamu House) in Cleveland. They both attended Oberlin College and the University of Chicago. Jelliffe also served in the Cleveland branches of the Urban League (initially the Negro Welfare Association) and the NAACP. Chesnutt knew them personally from the founding days of the Playhouse Settlement in 1915.
