Thanks Norton for the invitation to the Tavern Club dinner, and wonders whether they can plan to meet when he attends a committee meeting on a date in February to be determined. Adds, "I do not take a gloomy view of the present condition of things in the United States, although there is, no doubt, much to disturb one's equanimity [?]. What buoys up my hope is that the enlightened public opinion of the country is now a stronger power than it has been for many years."
