Tipped to front flyleaf: TYPED LETTER, SIGNED, FROM HORSLEY GANTT TO STANLEY COBB (see photo). Letterhead: Phipps Psychiatric Clinic, The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, Pavlovian Laboratory. The letter reads: "Dr. Stanley Cobb/ Harvard Medical School/ Boston, Mass./ Dear Stanley,/ I requested the publishers to send/ you with my compliments a copy of my "Lectures/ on Conditioned Reflexes: Conditioned Reflexes and Psychiatry", which is just out./ Sincerely yours, W. Horsley Gantt (signed "Horsley")." Ink stamp of "Psychiatric Department/ Massachusetts General Hospital/ Boston, Massachusetts" on bottom right corner of letter. This copy eventually came into the hands of George Gifford Jr. There isn't any ownership marking of his in the book, but there is a letter from George W. Thorn to Gifford in 1980.

Dr. Gantt was a close associate and friend of mine at Hopkins and we worked together on many projects. I thought you might be interested to know about his relationship with Dr. Pavlov.
