Letter from Glanville Downey, Harvard University, The Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection, 1703 Thirty-second Street, Washington 7, D.C. to Mrs. Robert Woods Bliss, May 4, 1955 Digital
Scope and Contents
Handwritten letter from Glanville Downey to Mildred Bliss enclosing a copy of the paper which he read at the Symposium that Mildred asked to see. He apologizes for having been so slow in providing it, but it has taken him longer to copy it than he supposed it would. He asks that it be returned to him eventually as he has to publish it. Also enclosed is an offprint which is badly printed as the Syrians are newcovers n such things. He reports that they deserve to be encouraged. Paper and offprint are no longer with letter.
