I understand, though I have not been told directly, that temporary plans have been made which make an immediate opening unnecessary for the individual in question.1 At any rate, your willingness to help is just another in a long list of indebtednesses I owe to you. I hope Betsey is feeling better.2 Give her my affectionate regard and to you, all the best as always.

Whitney explained that the Great Northern Paper Company recently had completed an extensive reorganization that had brought many young people into key positions. "It was felt that the introduction of a person of stature would do real harm to the morale of the new set-up, and to try to do so on a purely non-functioning basis would be insulting and impossible," he wrote.
