[Letter] January 21,1895,Amherst [to F.H. Giddings]

January 21, 1895, Amherst.

Dear Friend:
       A letter from
Adams tells me the
delay at Baltimore is
due to a financial
cause. The Clifton
sale hangs fire. Aside
from that they have an
annual deficit. This
is in confidence. I
write because I felt
more of impatience, when
I last wrote, than a
delay due to lack of
funds would justify.
What is clear is that
the Baltimore matter
can be kept in
status quo for some
time at least, and
that, in the interim,
I do not need to be
very mad at the
management there. It is
pleasanter not to be
mad.

    Yours Very Truly,
       John B. Clark

P.S. I have just
written to Professor
v.Böhm-Bawerk
thanking him for a
pamphlet, and saying
I must have it out
with him. Have you
noticed his article in
the current Quarterly Journal
of Economics? Would you
have said that in his
statements about "goods of
like kind and quantity" being
under valued taken in the future,
there is a hint that he meant money
in like quantity.
