"It's awfully good of you to suggest someone else from your group. I have never met Boyd Stutler the John Brown scholar but have had some correspondence with him. Fletcher Pratt of course I know by reputation. I am sure that either would do well although I am not sure whether any one of them knows as well as you the organizational problems or the difficulty in creating programs." Handsome full signature. Haverlin's pencilled-but-erased notes on his response run down the right margin. Unusual Judaica item. unknown
