200 OSSINING
BEECHWOOD
SCARBOROUGH-ON-HUPSON
August 16, 1932.
Mr. Hamlin Garland,
De Mille Drive,
Hollywood, Calif.
Dear Mr. Garland:
»n;f?v of $ovtb@m Cs a
I am delighted that you and other members of your
family have been enjoying Palos Verdes this summer. One can
get as pleasantly away from the turmoil of things there, perhaps, as anywhere else. I have always felt that it was good
for people to have a broad horizon. Some little things seem
less important when we can just look over miles of land and
sea. I wonder if people who grow up where they can get distant views of mountains do not broaden their mental horizons
somewhat through the eyes.
I would love to sit down with you and talk over
world affairs a little. Of course everyone is in the fog
about this present order of society. Whatever troubles we
have had in the world have been so completely man-made that
it is becoming pretty generally obvious that we must give
some fundamental consideration to some of our man-made institutions. I have just been writing an article on the
failure of democracy, at the request of the Saturday Evening
Post. When I had finished it, I was very certain they would
not want to print what I had written, and the*fact that they
came back within twenty-four hours saying that it exactly
suited them impresses me with the direction that we are
moving in the way of being willing to consider fundamental
political and social things. The Post is not by any means
a pioneer, and if they are beginning to see that it is not
heresy to question some of our creeds, it is significant.
I am sorry to hear that you are not coming East
in October, but I cannot look upon continuing to stay in
California as any great deprivation. Of course you miss the
annual refreshment of meeting the myriad of old and distinguished friends you have, and they miss you. We are all
getting that incurable disease of old age, however, and do
not move around so easily• I do not think we will get to
