Summary
Saying that he has received George Macy's "very handsome present" and asking Adams to convey his thanks for it; commenting "Much as I admire my old friend Bruce Rogers's genius I am too antiquated to care for his [illegible word] innovation"; adding in a postscript: "I suppose that no progress is being made with a Life of B.G. [Belle da Costa Greene]. If the year of her birth is known will you kindly let me have it on a postcard."
