My dear Professor Canby:

I am much obliged to you for the copy of your
Short Story in English which your publishers, Messrs. Holt and Com-
pany, have been so good to send to me. I remember very well a
paper of yours on the subject at Haverford, and shall look forward
with interest to a closer acquaintance with your work.

My dear Dr Canby:

I am more than pleased with your happy decision to go
ahead with that provocative (and even inspiring) theme.

Write until your joy in writing evaporates and, if at
that moment the number of words penned equals somewhere
between four and six thousand words, why the job's
well done.

I can see no reason why you should not use a portion
of your chapter for publication in your journal before
the symposium appears. I know from a previous discussion
with John Farrar that he does not object.

My dear Henry Seidel Canby:

Please be the recipient of my trenchant and sweetly reasonable
review of the book you sent me some days ago. It is greatly
to my credit that I have kept the review within the required
bounds. I trust you will find it meaningful.

Should you care to send me Dr. Franz Alexander's new book [Norton's]
THE MEDICAL VALUE OF PSYCHOANALYSIS I shall eagerly review
that also.

Editor, Saturday Review of Lit.,

My dear Dr. Canby:

My thanks for sending me Dr. Franz Alexander's recent
book "The Medical Value of Psychoanalysis." Here is
my brief view and review of it. Do kindly write me a
note acknowledging the receipt of both reviews.

I do not know whether you welcome a sequence of reviews.
If you should happen to, please have me in mind for
either or both of the following (apparently) worth while
books:

PARENT EDUCATION. (Century)

THE SEXUAL SIDE OF MARRIAGE by M.J. Exner. (Norton)

Amy Loveman,
Managing Editor,
The Saturday Review,
New York City.

Dear Miss Loveman:

That's strange. Originally when I wrote to Canby asking for Otto Rank's book for review, he wrote his approval and had it sent to me by the publishers. When I sent him the completed review, I appended a note in which I asked him kindly to send me also Franz Alexander's new book for brief analysis. Two or three days after this request the book arrived from the publishers. Hence my review which is now in your baffled possession.

If the book has already been sent to Eastrow and he has not yet turned in his review, I am under the impression that he will not consider it a violation of his dignity or of the higher fair play to "withdraw". We're friends: in fact, I have an appointment right now for an evening with him to discuss these very larger aspects of psychology and psychiatry which I am stressing in all my work. He writes me: "Your letter is full of suggestions and I should like to talk things over with you..."

I trust this crisis will not further embarrass the administration of Herbert Hoover or lead to any special editorials in The Nation.
