A Letter Written on Jun 8, 1921

June 8, '21.

Dear Doctor Clapp,

I enclose Miss Smith's article and the type written copy. [no longer with the letter] I have had three copies made, one has gone to Miss Palmer, one is for you, and I have kept one in case another is called for. Miss Palmer said that she would send the article to the "Boston Transcript", "Springfield Republican", and to Tamblyn & Brown in New York. My opinion is that in the latter case it may be garbled badly. Miss Palmer was in a great hurry this afternoon getting off material for a paper and I think that I can talk with her again tomorrow with advantage. I was not sure that she intended to get the thing right off and I think that it would be advantagious. [sic]

In the Endowment office here they knew nothing of Mrs. Reane. There was no pledge slip for her but they had no way of telling whether she had been approached since the only list is in New York. I will make inquiry there but I doubt if you can tell much about them it from there either. I also went to Miss Woolley's office and the only correspondence which Miss Newhall could find in Miss Woolley's file was a note for an interview with a Mrs. Norman Reane of New York City. I did not know the first name of your Mrs. Reane. Is it Norman? That is all I could gather here.

After I heard you mention Miss Allen I went up to see her and invited her down here to look around and she came right down here before the meeting. Then Mrs. White had wanted to talk about Mr. Crane so I called him up and he came down with Mr. Towne after the meeting. They were quite interested in the chicks wanted to see them alive and I asked if they could come up to see a series of live ones some time so they have agreed to come and they want to bring some friends. We looked over histology some. Mr. Towne is president of Holyoke Hospital board and he has invited next years histology class to come down to see some of the departments in the hospital. I think that Drusilla will like that. Mr. Towne & White both had their dress suits with them in the car for they were going to Skinner's to dinner. I asked them why they didn't change here so they did in Chris' office & "carried on like two youngsters".

Well you see how the day has gone. Tonight I'm making out a list of estimates on special gifts. We should be seeing you soon. I wish you could have "stayed on" today.
