Dear Bromley:

I have just had word that Mr. Gill (now Dr. Gill for he was granted his PhD degree at Harvard this spring), has expressed himself as not interested in the other church which was considering him. By the nature of his refusal to consider this opportunity, I suspect that his determination is to remain in Alton under any conditions. Possibly by this time you have also had some direct word from Dr. Gill in response to the letter which I wrote him.

I would suggest at any rate that you now get in touch immediately with Mr. Matson whose address is 3025 Jefferson Drive, Albuquerque, New Mexico.

I am sorry that I cannot yet give you any further information about the other man whom I mentioned in my last letter for we have not yet had direct word from him. As soon as that comes, I can tell you whether or not he would be interested and available.

Cordially,

<signed>

Dan Huntington Fenn
