I read the manuscript over yesterday with the greatest interest; there are certainly parts of it which might well go toward the making of the kind of article we are looking for, but they are so scattered that I do not see exactly how they could be bound together. We use so few biographical articles that there has to be a very special reason for accepting one. I think I could almost generalize, and say that we never do anything with biography except when it is the biography of a public man. Personally I greatly enjoyed reading this study, and I most heartily thank you for giving me a chance at it.
I was sorry to have to run away and leave you,
yesterday but Mr. Mackenzie4, the business manager, was leaving town2 for some days and
I had to catch him and worry a decision out of him before he caught his train.
Please let me know if you are in town again this summer. I should so like if we
could arrange a comfortable hour chat.
With cordial regards to Mrs. Howell5 and yourself, I am
