EXXXXXXXX Princeto Material
Harper's
Fisher, John
November 27, 1959
Dear John:
I knew it was a mistake to tell Cass
about the material that I have. It gave him
the impression that my doing anything with it
is much more imminent than it is. I shall,
however, keep your suggestion in mind and talk
the whole thing over with you when I get down
to really working on the stuff again.
In the meantime I am half way through
another story, which unfortunately was inter-
rupted by the altercations in which I have been
so continuously involved of late. Perhaps I can
cool off pretty soon and finish it.
Most sincerely,
S.

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:
U.S. SERVICES,AND LIBRARY
