Dear Mr Fernald:- 
I enclose a letter from Professor Goodale. 
Can you let me know the opinion of the Department on the 
subject ? If the Department desires it, I think the Corpo¬ 
ration would be ready to give Mr Ames a permanent appoint¬ 
ment, bringing him into the Department and the Faculty. 
You regretted, as I understand, his giving up his teaching; 
and if the question of making a permanent appointment would 
cause him to oontimie it^ I should suppose that the Depart¬ 
ment would be pleased. 
Yours very truly 
Professor M.L.Fernald 
35 Walker Street, Cambridge.
