You will find my estimate of him in the little packet of memoranda.

Van Hise[8] may be as good or even better if he be young in mind and adaptable enough.

But he seems to me a man who may already have done his big job.
I answer the other questions you asked at Princeton and I have taken the liberty to send some memoranda about a few other men--on the theory that every friend of yours ought now to tell you with the utmost frankness about the men he knows, of whom you may be thinking.
The building up of the countryman is the big constructive job of our time.

When the countryman comes to his own, the town man will no longer be able to tax, and to concentrate power, and to bully the world.
Very heartily yours, WALTER H.PAGE.

Else it may run amuck.
