It must have been a week ago that I thought a delighted letter to you about the last issue of the Quarterly. Of course, I was delighted, not only with the fact that a good share of the issue was devoted to my stuff, but because the whole magazine shows a surprising improvement. You are doing something worth doing. I should think the College would feel grateful to you.
Since I can't write an article specially for the Quarterly now, would you care to have a couple already written and, of course, unknown to your readers?
I don't see much vacation this year. I shall have three weeks, as usual, on pay, but I have to spend a whole week at Penn State and the going and coming will kill another week.
Four candidates for degrees, in different parts of the country, are doing theses on my stuff this year - so far as I know. Reading (Pa.) High School wants my picture for its to hang. Little straws here and there continue to point in a hopeful direction, and the sales of the school point in a hopeful direction, and the sales of the school editions increase. If anything intelligent could be done by way of pushing the school editions, or even giving them half a chance, things would be doing.
