Dear Miss Wyatt:

You were too brief: I trust that the Review did not "allowance" you. Your best point, among several good ones, is that which relates Howells? to the Jameses as a precursor of present-day psychology. I recall, by the way, that William James once called psychology a "nasty little subject," but our well-poised, well-disciplined Howells never carried things too far.
