Dear Dr. Huntington,

I am enclosing the warrants for the American Telephone & Telegraph stock. The price both yesterday and today was $3.75 per right so that the $7.00 check you gave me did not cover it. The Petty Cash Fund is again the loser, being at present $.93 in the hole.

Yours sincerely,

P. S. I am sorry to delay the letter to B. P.P. & B. but I found that my notes were a bit shaky in a few places and judged it was best for you to read the letter through again.

I am also enclosing the list of trees and shrubs.

Dr. Ellsworth Huntington,
222 Highland Street,
Milton, Mass.

Dear Dr. Huntington:

I enclose the itinerary. I suppose you will want also the cards
for the different factories. I will have them up to date when you
come down next week.

There is no through night train from Cleveland to Detroit, so
the boat trip looked advisable. There is a train out of Cleveland
at 11:30 P. M. but you would have to change at Toledo at 2:30 A. M.
It is so hard to get connections between St. Louis, Murphysboro,
and Cincinnati that it seemed best to leave St. Louis at 1:00 P. M.
Monday instead of at 4:30 as you had planned, visit Murphysboro
that same afternoon, and then go on Thursday Tuesday. There seems to
be no night train that you can connect with from Murphysboro.

Figuring out the route has taken so much time that some of
the factory letters will have to wait until Monday. I expect to
send them all by Monday noon.

I enclose two letters which came this morning.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Ellsworth Huntington,
C/o Dr. C. S. Dryer,
The Richardson Company,
Lockland, Ohio.

Dear Dr. Huntington:

Your note from Detroit in regard to change in itinerary came this
morning. I am glad you can save the time and energy that would have
been consumed in jumping about southern Illinois and Kentucky.

I am enclosing a letter from your brother Harry and a copy of a
note I wrote to him.

I am also enclosing a copy of the letter I wrote you at Detroit
in regard to "Civilization and Climate," just in case you did not
receive the original.

Yours sincerely,

December 26, 1922

Dr. Ellsworth Huntington,
Michigan Union,
Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Dear Dr. Huntington;

Your note written the 22d was not delivered until this morning.
I have therefore sent the notes you requested to the Burroughs
Adding Machine Company at Detroit in care of Mr. Dodge, but with
little hope that you will receive them in time.

I am enclosing a letter from Mr. Whittlesey and three checks
from the National Research Council.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. E. Huntington,
650 Canton Avenue,
Milton, Mass.

Dear Dr. Huntington:

I enclose two cards which I thought I had given you last night. I am also enclosing a letter to the Taylor Instrument Companies ordering hygrometers for Joseph & Fess and Sears Roebuck. Those for Hickey-Freeman were not to be ordered until formal word had been received from them.

I am also enclosing two letters which came this morning. I have sent the papers to Mr. Donnelly and most of the letters have gone. The rest will go this afternoon.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Prof. Irving Fisher,

460 Prospect Street,
New Haven, Conn.

Dear Professor Fisher:

I have read "League or War" with much interest. I have done just
what you suggested about making suggestions and if my comments seem
terse you will understand. I am very much pleased with the book and
think it will do great good.

My chief suggestion would be that the book, especially in its
first pages, gives the reader the feeling that he is being argued at.
It seems to me highly important that everything in the first part
should be omitted that can in any way antagonize even one who is an
opponent of the League of Nations. In the later pages the argumentative
paragraphs, that is, the paragraphs which will make the unsympathetic
reader bristle and want to fight, are not so noticeable.

I think also that the whole book is too serious. It is very clearly
and simply written but seldom is there any humor or any narrative. In
other words, it holds the reader at a constant level of mental effort.
Thereby I think it loses part of its effect. There are a number of
places where a good story or a good illustration would make the book
much more effective. A little narrative also would do no harm. Many
of your illustrations are just the merest references which only the very
well informed reader will be able to understand. One of the places
where you might put in something amusing would be by giving an account
of the way in which the communications between the League of Nations

Mr. Wilbur L. Cross,

The Yale Review,

New Haven, Conn.

Dear Mr. Cross:

Your letter and the copy of Stefansson's book reached
me Wednesday. About two months ago Canby wrote and asked
me to review Stefansson's book. I told him that I thought
you still might be expecting me to review it, but that if
you did not, I would review it for him. He sent the book
some six weeks ago and I have finished reading it and have
prepared a review. Would it meet your approval if I were
to send him a review for immediate publication and were to
write an entirely different review in which Stuck's and
Shackleton's book will play an equal part with Stefansson's?
I want to do just what suits you, but if I can oblige Canby
without disobliging you I should be glad to do it.

Yours sincerely,

EH/HCH
