   Dec. 12, 1886, Smith College. [Together with a letter dated.
   April 19, 1886 from Richard T. Ely to Giddings on the A.E.A.
   letterhead, 1 p. 4to., notifying Giddings that he has been
   appointed to the Committee on Economic Theories of the
   A.E.A. on the recommendation of Clark.]

Dear Mr. Giddings,
          Your letter proves
that it is to you that the
Committee on Economic
Theories must look for
some good work to be
reported at the next
annual meeting. Let us
work together and see if
we cannot effect a theoretical
reconstruction of the science.
I shall await with much
interest the presentation of
your theory as you
outlined it to me the other
evening.

        Yours Very Truly,
                 J. B. Clark
