MR. JUSTICE HOLMES

Professor Frankfurter and I shall be grateful if any who possess letters of his which may be fitly made available for publication would communicate with me or send to me such letters as they are willing to allow us to examine. All such material will be copied and the originals returned to those who are kind enough to entrust them to me.

Professor H. J. Laski (Devon Lodge, Addison Bridge Place, London, W. 14), is acting for me in Europe and will be glad to receive any material, or to answer any questions, on my behalf,—I am, faithfully yours,
