Dear Bower:

Many thanks for your letter and the copies of Mott's article, which I too like very much. I've dropped him a line of appreciation. It was mighty good of him to do the job. He is busy and not well.

I'm sorry and glad you did not win the election. I did want to yell hurrah for you; but I know what you mean by "fortunately".

Anyway, you're certainly made of sensational stuff!

Affectionately,

John N.
