BR TO W.W. NORTON & COMPANY, INC. / WARDER NORTON, 30 MAY 1931
BRACERS 47016. TL(CAR). McMaster
Proofread by A. Duncan


30th May 19311

Dear Norton,

Thank you very much for your nice letter of May 15th. It is a relief to me that you like the book, and that you do not object to the plain speaking in the chapter on religion, although this will, of course, make a really large sale impossible.

I should have supposed that no book club could possibly consider any work which does not bolster up superstition. You will by this time have received the proofs that I sent you about a week ago.

All best wishes,

Yours sincerely,
