248 So. 23rd Street, Philadelphia, Pa. - FRAZ/17/79: Thanks him for the Huxley Lecture on Deluge traditions, has sent him some reprints of his own articles, including one on the Langdon Tablet; also wrote a letter renewing the invitation from the American Committee for Lectures on the History of Religions and hasn't had a reply, wonders if it has 'become a victim to some dreadful submarine', and sends a carbon copy of the letter [FRAZ/17/78], dated 23 Jan. 1917, which lays out the proposal to deliver a course of lectures in seven or eight centers in the country, four or six lectures at a time, for $2500; a postscript in pencil suggests they should aim for the fall of 1918, for 'by that time the crisis will be near an end, if not over'.

Accompanied by the envelope with 'Opened by Censor' label and 'P.1977' written on each end of the label in blue pencil.
