Item 2285

Carbon of letter to Pyrrah Gladys Grodman from Kings Crown Hotel,420 West 116^th Street, New York City

June 30, 1942

 

 

Dear Miss Grodman:

 

many thanks for your card. I was going to phone you and see who was going to be with you tonight.

 

I had another nice visit with Miss Bateman at supper last night. She is still saying that she has not been able to get around to doing anything constructive at the School so far — just getting a bad state of affairs straightened out. She also remarks, mostly on her own, that she thinks I might be able to do some good work among the elite of the faculty of the School. She has spoken of this two or three times but nothing concrete has been proposed. She seems to understand that my disfavor was due to some of the conduct characteristic of the former Director of whom she speaks somewhat freely and without praise.

 

     Miss Bateman says she has heard not a word from Mr. Potter, one of the most able teachers, since she handed him that Foley letter of mine. I hope it hasn’t driven him away from the School. She regards Mr. McNally very highly and seems to wish she understood my ideas as well as he does.

 

     So I think I will not come over tonight. There is someone else whom I want to see soon and this is the very best night for it.

 

     I am sending herewith a print of the “Hypothetical Breakdown of National Income Under Proprietary Administration;” also a print of the universe as cosmic energy in its infinite and its finite aspects. I think you will be able to follow on these charts most of the thinking that prompted me to construct them. But it would not be worthwhile for them to have any general circulation without a lot of textual matter to explain them and to head off various negative misapprehensions that would almost certainly arise — and probably will arise in any case.

     I expect to remain here a few more days and hope to see you and Dr. Schneidman again whether we can corner any “intellectuals” or not.

 

Best regards to both,
