On verso of Riepe's letter.

"I made the acquaintance of Mr. Barrows Dunham when I was lecturing at the Barnes Foundation in 1941. I have kept in touch with him since, and have read a good deal of his work, for which I have a great respect. I am quite sure that the victimization which he suffered was totally undeserved, and that if appointed as a professor of philosophy at the University of North Dakota he will give complete satisfaction and be a credit to the faculty."
