Thanks very much indeed for your letter of December 6 with the two checks enclosed. I wmild-have acknowledged these sooner but h honei that I might catch ymu in weshington and do it there. To the best of my.knowindge and telief from the records here, these checks brirg my personal account up to date and we can, as it were, "start afresh".

I think that your decision not to ash or to gc under contrect is P good one. i em sure that they cen Cive their advice frem time to tine quite as effectively on an iuformal lasis and I would not see any necessily of further formalizing it unless there is reed fron your stanipoint. I have not yet heard again fror. and I am afraid that we may be in for some trouble on this since there is some indication that he may romain on the West, Coast permanently. Here again I would suggest that we keen the contsct informal and exploit it when, as, and if the need arises and it seems practicable to do so.

I am Locking forward to seeing you soon either in wshington or here. I expoet to be out f the city until the first of January so I suspect this will have to be delayed until the New Ycar.

With all Eood wishes for a grand Holiday Sesson, I am
