Dear Professor Donovan,
I have received the report of the Committee on Evil Literature over which you were good enough to preside. I have not yet had time to examine and consider this report in detail but a general perusal of its contents makes it clear to me that the Committee carried out their task with great care and thoroughness. I am satisfied that the report will be of the greatest possible use when the time comes for legislative action to deal with the problem of evil literature and kindred matters.
I wish to express my high appreciation of the care and ability with which the Committee dealt with the whole matter and I shall be glad if you will accept my best thanks for your work as Chairman and convey to the other members of the Committee my best thanks for their services.
I assume it will be necessary to have the report printed and, in fact, I do not at present see any reason why it should not, but I should like to know whether you have anything to urge against its publication.
Yours sincerely,
