Gentlemen:
Your letter of October 5 has come to hand.I was just about to write you. Our Board of Publication has finally met and feels that at the present time, they cannot undertake any investment with regard to Norman Leys KENYA. I think that all are agreed as to its value for certain groups in this country. The difficulty facing us this fall is the heavy capital investment due to the large demands of this institution. Dr. Ley's [sic] book was one of a large number of items which we felt would have to be set aside at the present time.
I regret this necessity exceedingly because I have been most deeply impressed by the book.
Yours very sincerely, | Frederick Harris [signature] | Editor in chief Publication Dept.
