almost 100,000 manuscripts

2 The Judges were J. N. Wheeler, Editor of
Liberty, Jesse L. Lasky, and Rex Beach.

3 The contest was not restricted, but open to all
American writers.

4 While other prize contests have established

June 2, 1926

You may well be proud of your STORY OF PHILOSOPHY, which is a fine piece of bookmaking, and a book which ought to fill a very definite place. I have not had an opportunity to read it, so asked Ura. Deaderick to do so, and had an enthusiastic report from her.

We have sold several copies already, and it looks to me as though the book might be in for a very successful sale, I am hoping to cet time to go over it carefully in the rear future.

The Story of Philosophy. A book of thie Many thanks for the copy of Durant's, kind answers a genuine, long-felt neeo, as there is no other book to my knoWledge which covers the subject. The only book that could compare with it i dindelband History of Philosophy, but this is quite out of date and not easily obtainable.
