I think I acknowledged the receipt of your Dec. 10th letter, but did not reply to the matters you mentioned. I just finished reading Sherl's translation of Wegener's "The origin of continents and oceans" with an introduction by Sir John W. Evans. It impresses me better than the German edition I borrowed from Dr. Bronsver(?), and I see he has cut out nearly everything about the Pleistocene, with only a brief statement to the effect that the European and North American moraines can be connected with a twist that would bring them up to the same latitude. I don't think such a twist occurred and I think he is in the wrong track. But I was impressed with the diligence he had exerted to go over the whole earth. I have not seen Daly's book on the mobile earth. Ransome has it and offered to lend it to me. The only thing he mentioned finding in it was the statement that automobiles kill more people than earthquakes. I have read D.W. Johnson's New England-Acadian Shore Lines since coming here and found it very interesting. I was disappointed that it had very little on shore lines above the present one. He seems to make a good case on the youthfulness of the present shoreline but since it has only been a few thousand years since the ice sheet left, one would naturally expect the shoreline to be youthful especially on resistent formations. He seems to have discussed at great length matters which could have been covered in a magazine article. He questions Goldthwait's Micmac shore so I wrote Goldthwait asking him what he thinks of Johnston's criticism. Davis, Fairchild & Keyes have been here since we came. Davis was on his way to CA from TX and will give lectures on physiography next semester. Fairchild & wife were on their way to spend the winter in San Diego, but they stopped to see Prof. Sarle, one of Fairchild's old students who is now in private geologic work. Keyes was on his way to NV for a short trip. I spent 2 hours with him and showed him the inadequate basis for his calculations of glacial stages that he has made so much of in Pan American Geologist. I know many things about the Stockwell formula that he did not, and he admitted that he had not thoroughly researched the subject. I shall be interested in what he will say in the future about this subject. I will be glad to hear from you about the papers presented at Madison, and hope you had an enjoyable time there. I am sorry to hear about Dr. Dryer's poor health. Please give him my regards and best wishes. We shall be glad to see you and Mrs. T here if you make a trip west this winter. We are pleassantly located about 3 blocks from the University Library and a block from the edge of campus. My sister Mary is staying with us as she has a similar bronchial cough. We think we are already seeing a lessening of its hold in each of us. I think I have gained 5 pounds since Dec. 15, and she has gained 4. Mrs L has not gained any for which she is thankful as she thinks she is too heavy now; she weighs 140 lbs and I weigh 143. With best wishes for the new year from both of us.
