Dear Mr. Acheson:
Cass Canfield tells me that you have been serving as
chairman of a series of conferences at the Institute
for Advanced Studies on the way in which the major
decisions of the Truman administration were arrived
at. He added that there was some possibility that
you might develop a book out of these discussions.
Whether the book project ripens or not, it occurred
to me that you might have some first rate magazine
material as a result of these seminars. If you
would be interested in developing any of it into an
article-- or perhaps a series of articles--for Har-
per's, might I have a chance to discuss this possi-
bility with you.
