Box 2

"I'm sorting some more ms material. I have found these pages, which cover parts of the book on language- pages from the first typed version, with revision material some of it is new ms. draft."

"In regard to Alan Clark's copy of the first revision of Rational Meaning, this cannot be sold to anyone. As I mentioned before libraries are very sensitive to this sort of thing, feeling that they should not spend their money on manuscripts unless they have control."

"Thank you for writing in prompt response. The Alan Clark text matter I will put to rest. This will be his personal memento - and never sold. You have miscomprehended the case as to Cornell. Cornell has not received and will not receive any copy of typescript of either the first or second versions of the book on language."

"I have now gone over with care what I have in carbon copies of the (hand) script of some later parts of the book on language. They are like the originals, raw, rough, script, but well-readable, and the carbon imprint is very clear, I think."

"I obviously misunderstood your letters of 17th June in thinking that the material you mentioned was a typescript version of the same material that you are giving to Cornell. There would be no objection to your offering this typescript material for sale."

"A kind word came from Mr. Logsdon as to the particular little gift - as you know I have responded to this. I have a thought: I would be willing for U. of Tulsa Library to have the carbon copies of the ms. of the latter part of Rational Meaning at this time..."

"I'm enclosing my cheque for $3,375.00 covering the manuscripts that we sold..."

"I have received your letter enclosing a check for $3,375.00, for acquisition by the University of Tulsa of the manuscripts of which you kindly took charge."
