4519 Fifteenth Ave. lest fane ouver * Canada ""' ., October 16* 1950 Dear firs Brack : First of all* I should like to tell you how ssmk ,,;onr letter of October 9 helped and' encouraged oe. Ton have the happy faculty of being able (ia your miad'g eye) to see the history aq a whole and therefore to realise the necessity of Biaiataining a balance between its various parts* Six sections of the Matting MSS are now ia the typist's hands and I aa striving to complete the regaining two or three as rapidly as possible* fhese are difficult since It is necessary to gather up the threads and to weave them together i%aeat little finale* I am beginning to see that there will be some material that ^belongs1* to Use Pfefferkora as well as to me and that olgfet be better handled If INI were to work on it together. I have even gone bo far as to su^,.;ost to her that she Sijz id r.tura eastward via Vancouver * AS yet* she hag made no reply and may possibly be reserving her decision until she has Seen the Saaptea 1SS* lliere need be no delay la sending the Hutting USS oa to you .0 aeon as ever I have finished it* It my clarify my prege: Itioa if 1 define ap general approach to the points tioned ia your letter — so here goes $ 1* Pros the outset*-- my prhmry objective has been and remains |a)to agsemble* classifyt and carefully to e»nine the chaotic mass of source material th t wag smde available to l at Johag Hopkinsf (b) to weave this Material into a well documented* coherent $m& reag** ona'bly complete account of the cri-ji .-. development and progress of the School during the period 1867 ~*» 1907* I understand from Mig0 Pfefferkora {aa endneatly competent judge) that the fir; ie objective hag already been satisfactorily completed by ©e* Ihe Hampton arid anuceriptg together constitute the second part of the objective and will both be available long for the coaeideratioa of the Committee. Ia thli connection* I si2;e that those isaauecriptg are only draft a. and to be thorouglily revised* It will not be possible* at this stage., to indicate titleg* topical headings* footaetee. etc. 3Sdg ftmmm wmt be i0i&vm^ until the umanar ia which these are to be handled baa been agreed upon by the authorg so that the #ane methoda nay be aged throughout the satire volume* 2* Ton gpeak of the desirability of "addition 1 gideligbts on Isabel Bwnptea** Ser influence over the devolornoat of the School did not tm& with her marriage and you will find many refereaoeg to it in the Hatting !S8* Sveary acrap of biographical data related to her pergonal life before .her mar iage hag been used but* aa you are doubtless amre* her boub are still living* and It would hardly be wise (or in good tagte) to mt^w to her married life* She did not die until 1910 and it seems likely that Bl»» Pfefferkora will wish to lake 00110 ai.ueioa to it. 3. In a letter addressed to m?B Ucficar* Mas Buabar made thie gtatemeats mt agguse that the book will Include b: information oa the contemporary picture ia the education of woisaa and related medical and social service developments .** I gather that thig gaeg« tion hag already been jointly discuaaed hy Miaa Dunbar* Mag fay lor and Mas Diaeg and will be fur .her explored at a forthcoming raeetiag of the History Committee. I ghonlA therefore prefer to reserve comment until after gpecifie recor^endationg have been made and I have had an opportunity of diseasing these with Jligg Pfefferkora* 4* I should* as you suggest* Hire to write finlc at the earliest possible date go far ag my direct contribution to the higto^y lg conce.ned but pleage toiler* that 1 want to do all 1 can to help at any stage until the preaaeg start to roll and we all have to take 50 off the hook* sapleg arc flaming against a dark round of Doug|ag fire and with a glimp&e of gea betw-ea jaa...e you glad yon live ia Britigh Col 1 rink \ aehiag oachiaeg* indeed* well* i&ell*, fh&ik you for everything*
