You will be setting out for Hawaii soon, and I'm wondering how long you will be gone. Also I am wondering if you have the Lyrics portion of the Biography in such shape that it might be used in connection with the publication of the Lyrics volume in the Fall. I am now writing the brief introduction to the volume. When it is received in Lincoln, so Nicoll assures me, the volume will go to press.
Are you not teaching this year? Has Bower a year's leave of absence?
I wish you were going to attend the Bancroft dinner. It's going to be quite an affair.
I have 300 students — 180 in Mountain Men and 120 in The Twilight of the Sioux.
