Summary
Reports that he has "just sold the motion picture rights of one of my books for a large figure and I should like to link up a part of the profits with some of my great attachment to the Davis House and to everyone connected with it." States that "before I actually sink it into the School and its uses I should like it [the money] to travel for a few years and be additionally useful to someone," and offers to loan $2,000 to Braine "for as many years as you'd like."
