STANFORD UNIVERSITY STANFORD, CALIFORNIA 94303 DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS February 11, 1981 Dear Josef, I am writing you once again in the hope that we can spend a little time together during the coming summer. We are hoping to go to Hungary this time, there to visit Elisabeth 1 s relatives and to make a short trip from there to Transylvania; but we are again planning to spend 12 days in Sils at the end of our trip. Could I persuade you to join us in Sils or, possibly, to take the same train we shall be taking from Vienna to St.Moritz? We are planning to take a train called the Wiener Waltzer on or around August 1, which leaves Budapest at 15:05, Vienna at 20:10, gets to Sargans at 7:09 the following morning; and from there to Chur and to St.Moritz is only what in Hungarian would be called a Katzensprung. We would be staying in Sils until August 13, having a plan reservation from Zurich to San Francisco for the following day. I am convinced that Sils is as good for your health as it is for ours, so it is not only for selfish reasons that I am urging you to join us there. I realize that you don't like to commit yourself in advance, so I am just giving you advance information about our movements. Incidentally, we are planning to stop in Vienna for a couple of days on our way to Budapest, probably around July 9/10, so perhaps we can see you then, too; but it would be nicer if you would come to Sils. In any case, I shall let you know the exact date of our coming — we shall probably stay at the Hotel Wandl, which we rather liked last time. There is little news to report from here. We are both well; I am working on my macroeconomic textbook, although difficulties with my coauthor make me wonder if it will ever get published. But I enjoy the writing of it and that is the main thing. I also find myself drawing more and more on your arguments, especially when trying to explain the increasingly inflationary nature of our today's economies. I recently attended the Ph.D orals of a great admirer of yours, Tracy Mott, a nice person though a somewhat plodding student. Let me close now, so I can send it off by today's mail. With best regards from both of us, Yours ever,
