Description
In this two-page handwritten letter, Kanow thanks Bird for his "very kind and considerate attention" when they met during the previous summer. Morgan Odell (professor of philosophy at Occidental) advised Kanow to finish the semester, but after an incident in which his brother was "prevented" from boarding a streetcar, Kanow has decided to withdraw from school. He is disappointed he will not be able to become an ordained minister. [Letter is transcribed, click on page&text. This letter was also transcribed by staff at Bird's office. See Dbase #029.]
