October 30, 1930.

Dear Miss Frick,

I am enclosing the bills for the table,
file and dictionary stand that have been put into the old
Radio room in order to make it possible for me to work
on the Catalogue there. You may remember that I brought
this matter up when you were here (Remember you accused
me of yawning!) and that you felt that you would prefer
to buy these items, instead of allowing the University
to supply them, which it is only too willing to do. All
will go into the equipment of the Fine Arts Department
(where even now they would be of use) when we are
through with them.

You will be interested in the enclosed
proposals which Chancellor Bowman asked me to think
over and give form to. Mr. Hovey made the first draft.
I think you will agree that the idea is a fine one.
Does it meet with your approval? Personally I think
that we should begin slowly. The whole program is
too large to put into immediate operation. But Dr.
Bowman is ready to initiate the undertaking in any form
I think best.

Maud has a very nice letter from you which
she is going to answer. Unfortunately she has got
overtired and Jena has put a brake on her.

With kindest regards from us both to you
and Mrs. Frick,

Enclosed bills:

Table, $80
File, $36.36
Guides & folders, $13.79
Dictionary stand, $9.90
