Dear North:

7 It has been a disappointment
to me that I have not been able to secure
prompt attention on the part of the Committee
on Admissions of the Century Association for
certain candidates, including of course your-
self, in whose candidacy I had a personal
interest.

It is the fact (as I had ,
I think, reported some months back to my
group of candidates) that the resident member-
ship list was actually full and that new
members could come in only as the older men
passed. This is still the case. At the
monthly meeting in December one vacancy had
occurred and one new member was elected.
I dare not hold out expectation of an early
election for yourself.

The candidacy of a business man
always has difficulty as compared with that of
artists, authors, scientists, etc. You may
fairly claim to represent literature as well
as business, which is precisely my own case,
but even that cannot entirely obliterate the
fact that you and I try to make money by selling
things. .I amv with cordial regards,

a: Ira m
