....

"Your letter to my home dated October 11th is so terribly, terribly wrong."

Scope and Contents "I cannot go any further in what I thought was a practicality of friendship, developing. You have added to your dismissal of my tenderly offered motto for you and your son, as related to formal scales of values and not penetrating to the true nature of loving-kindness, as you know it by special experience, an extreme condemnation of me.

Scope and Contents

"It is good to have your point of view, as to how the neglect of cross-reference between two entries may have come about. There has been so much suppression and disregard of myself and my work, and distortion of literary and bibliographical actualities in connection, that mere inadvertence is not the first cause that springs to mind, with me, when I come upon such a thing as that on which I wrote in my letter to Professor Misenheimer."

Scope and Contents

"Prof. Feladman called me a couple of times last wekk, and I returned his call, but we missed each other. I wrote him to say that Kirkham's article is in producation and will be out about December 15th."

Scope and Contents "I thank you, first of all, for telling me about Professor Feldman's calls to you, and your kind efforts in his regard, and your promise to supply him with a copy of the issue. I am just now in the midst of final work on some little matters in the text of my article, aiming at dispatching this tomorrow."...."I have agreed to let the little magazine Antaeus have some writing of mine of now on Story-writing, and something from Progress to go with it, for its next...
