3 Dear Mr Parker

5 I take the liberty of sending you the enclosed. Do you know of any
6people who might be likely to care to attend the lectures? I believe
7that H Hinton is quite genuine on the purely intellectual side. He has
8nothing to live on. I am very anxious he should get some subs-cribers.
9I fear it is not likely you will know of any one, but could think of
10no one but you to whom I could write.

12 Excuse my troubling you.

14 Yours Sincerely
