New Milford, Conn., August 7, 1938.

Dear Mr. Pipkin,

Thanks for your letter. It was good of you to think of me in
connection with possible lectures at the University. Owing to the
uncertainty of things I cannot make commitments now and so you must drop me of
your listx of prospects. I hope to get away and look in on your campus
but I certainly do not want to lecture anybody down there or anywhere else.
It would be a pleasure to sit down you with you and your colleagues and perhaps
a few students and discuss cabbages and kings. Beyond that I should not want
to go. Anyway I am hoping to make that trip.

I enclose a little piece on The Review, which you are free to use
in any way you please, if it meets your requirements.
