"As a former President of the Harvard CRIMSON I have not the slightest objection to your publishing the Lowell House Bells correspondence except that I am inclined to think the Lampoon would be a more appropriate medium. The correspondence consists of the letter from Brother Lucas received here March Twelfth; my letter to the House Master of March Twenty-Fourth and my final reply of April Third.
