Dear George:

Your letter of the 6th did catch up with me some few days ago,
but I haven't had time till now for a proper reply. Hoewever, I do
want to thank you for clariifying what had been a rather uyetifyiag
Situation, a few years ago. Even in the light of what you told mo,
but Poretealanly because of my own pressing problenus of uscieion, I
think I was right to ask for an authoritssive unterwriting of any

4

proposals to be discussed, However, Dean Busuy ass written me a
most cordial letter, which is quite reassuring on thispoint.

I will be seeing Kenneth, possibly pefore you ese this, svat in
any sace I wanted to thank you for neving writtsn ac you win, I am
afraia it will be impossiible for me to etopover at Caubriags in the
course of our prerent journey, but I will aot maxes any irrevocauls
commitmeats elsewhere until I: 6 Ma. tise to sonsiucr eltcruetive
courses very carefully.

It will de hard for me to accnowleuge every warn letter I neve usc
from friends at Har vard, and I hope my appreciation can diffuse Prom

tne partimular replies, lixe thisone,

Yours mes
