very kind of you to send me a congratulatory note upon my selection for the
Laetare Medal. Although I still do not know why they selected me, I am very
proud and very grateful. That persons such as yourself would consider it merited
certainly adds to the honor. I am delighted to hear from a friend of Homer. I
saw him last week in Washington, and he seems to be holding up well there. Many,
many thanks for you thoughtfulness. In case one of these days you may make a
trip to Europe, a visit to SHAPE is a 'must' in your itinerary. I should very
much like to meet you and to show you what we are trying to do. Sincerely."
