Dear George –
Your second semester book shows true improvement over the
first semester’s work. You have achieved real in-tellectual growth during the
year, and I hope you will persevere with your reading, thinking, studying, and,
if you must, collecting! Your manner of expression could be improved in places
and I think you should work on it, as you really do have something to say and might
as well say it well. I
I suspect I should really write you a letter in this
notebook, it is so rich and full. Alas, I could not find time to read every
word, though I browsed considerably – a little as one would, perhaps, in an old
attic on a rainy day. In fact, I shall call this the rainy-day note book! But
no offense intended, for seriously your book hath some very good things in it,
and I am astonished at the range of your interests and at your intellectual
vitality. (I think I like especially your first essay on the Japan Current.)
You are obviously very ob-serving , and that accounts
