Item 2279

Carbon of letter to Felix Ehrenhaft, 540 West 57^th Street, New York City

May 21, 1942

Dear Dr. Ehrenhaft:

So many thanks for all your trouble and interest in getting me in touch with Professor Ludwig von Mises. It was kind of him to telephone to you concerning the letters we sent him and I do hope you have loaned him the full volume and that he is finding it interesting and worthwhile, as I very much believe it to be.

 I hope you will pardon my unseemly delay in writing to you and thanking you. I have been in Winchester and Washington and trying to make my arrangements to come to New York very soon. I have been expecting to come before now. That is partly the reason I have not written till now. However, it seems now that I cannot very well come until after the 28^th — unless I make a very short trip and return here before that time. I can do that if it seems important to do so.

 I am sorry about the typewriter being left behind and hope you have not been greatly in need of it. If you need it very much or very soon please drop me a line or a card and I will have it well packaged up and in the Express Company’s hands the same day I hear from you.

 I have had quite a lot of plans for taking my daughter Beatrice with me to New York and also to Canada, but the gasoline situation has been getting worse in Canada as well as here and she has not been able to leave Winchester until after the 23rd. She expects to be back here this weekend or early next week and then we will do something definite.

 My very best regards to Mrs. Ehrenhaft and to your good coadjutor, Dr. Banet. I enjoyed having you all here and hope to have you again if you can endure again my very crude accommodations.

 I am writing to Prof, von Mises and hope to have the pleasure of meeting him before very long. If you have not done so please let him have the full copy that I loaned to Mrs. Ehrenhaft. I have none other available to send him.    Cordially yours,
