My dear M,
Your two letters, both dated the 6" came this morning and I was very glad to hear from you. Saturday afternoon I came back here from Hominy & expected to get a letter but found none. I am very glad that you are preparing papers for the Arch. Institute and the Literary Soc. Don't make the Lit. Soc. paper too gloomy. Put some humor in it. Show some of Dr. F's humourous side. You remember you once sent him a copy of your paper entitled "Significance of the Scalp Lock" and he made a very witty and humorous acknowledgment of it. I think he said he wished you had written about the significance of the "absence of the Scalp lock."

I guess the date of the letter you mention was a mistake. It is easy to make a mistake of that kind.

I have already written you that I had sent a letter to Mr. Hodge asking for auth to come to Washington with my work. I sent you a copy of my letter. I hope it will be granted.

I am glad of the notice of the book in a French journal. There was one in a German magazine. It was sent to me and I have kept it somewhere among my papers. When I come I will bring it.
