Mr. George T. Hepbron, Chairman,
Rules Revision Committee,

105 Nassau St.,
New York City.

Dear friend Hepbron:

Your two letters of July 16th arrived |
at my desk on my return from Springfield,
Mass,, where I was teaching at the college
there. I,had hoped that I would spend two
weeks at Newport and then run on into New York
for a little visit, but conditions arose which
made it imperative that I return, so I missed
another good visit with you.

Oswald Tower drove over from Andover
and we had a good visit. I, also, had a nice
visit with my friend Hickox, Tower mentioned
to me that they were having a little difficul-
ty in reproducing the photographs that were
taken of the blocking and screening plays.

Tower was under the impression that we
had not gone far enough to print the stuff this
year. I told him I would offer a ready second
that we could perhaps get along pretty well for

this year and make a more detailed and complete
report - ready to present to the Chairman of

the Rules Revision Committee next year. Hickox,
who did not happen to be in the evening Tower
called, later told me that he had already ex-
pressed himself previously on this subject and
could not change his vote. However, I feel that
we have not got all in there that we should have
in there, and since we have gone several years
under this old scheme of things, I don't see :
how we can be hurt by not jumping in too hastily.
