New York City.

Dear Dr. Clark:

We are disposed to recommend to Miss Eleanor Parker's mother that she should go home on a visit. She is much better but does not have very good insight. One is always somewhat uncertain about the future of a case of that character. It seems to us, however, that it would be reasonably safe to let her try it at home under conditions that would permit of her being returned if necessary.

If you feel that there is any objection to this, will you not kindly telephone to Dr. Pringle on receiving this letter ?

Dear Scofield:

The enclosed correspondence will explain itself. What do you think of my suggestion? I have had a couple of talks over the telephone in regard to her present attitude, and she is quite content and fully recognizes the necessity of not seeing you or having any further concern in your affairs. It occurred to me, however, that if she could be persuaded to be analyzed that any remaining remnants of the mental disorder which she has passed through would also be cleared up and pretty likely would prevent further recurrences in such a cyclothymic state.

I trust you will enjoy the holidays, and with best wishes for a happy new year, I am,

Mr. Scofield Thayer,

Dear Scofield:

How are you and what are you doing? I read some of your poems in the Dial the other day and I think it is the best verse I have seen for a long time from anyone either in this country or abroad. I think you hit a high water mark in depth of insight and poetic expression in the two sonnets, and "Proud Blasphemy" is the one I particularly like.

With best regards,

Mr. Scofield Thayer,
