Dear Prof.:
Many thanks for your letter of January 20th. I think I fully understand your own position and how difficult it would be to reduce any of the accrued income. I have no pete is lot-ter to-day, and I'm enclosing a copy of my answer which explains that I wouldn't be worth while, of course, to put off his own trip for so was much appreciated. If you can really obtain a very substantial contribution from the Philo-sophical Society, the difference.

I'd be glad to finance the anticipated deficit of $3,000 with-out interruption. Dis wherever this program as agreed upon the third installment of $1,000 which would be repaid to me … continues
