Dear Josef,
Many thanks for your kindness in reserving the rooms for
us* I enclose a cheque for £4l, which the bank assures me is the
equivalent of Austrian #1,120. I greatly look forward to seeing you;
and let us by all means make it Saturday at the Weisser Rauchfangkehrer
and not, as I foolishly and inadvertently put it, at the Schornsteinfeger.
But if you don f t want us to avoid you at the occasions of our projected
many future visits to Vienna, then you must let us invite you for a
change•
As our return to California approaches, we are getting cold
feet about it and wonder whether it would not have been wiser to settle
down here instead. We shall probably make a compromise and return to
Europe at least for summer holidays as often and as long as our energy
and financial situation permit. Hence my hint about/many future returns
to Vienna.
I am enclosing a paper I gave at Aberdeen; it is not very good
and again on the old subject of inflation. ^ wish I would have kept to my
old habit of thinking longer and publishing less rather than doing what I
am doing now, which is the reverse.
Now that I know you have become affluent, I should like to
press you even more to travel. Many of my old friends and acquaintances
seem to deal with the problem of retirement by traveling more and
visiting their various friends in outlying parts of the world; and it
seems to work very well as a means of keeping one alert and active.
I realize that your dietary problems make that a little difficult but
surely not impossible. But mo^e about all that when we meet.
With best regards until soon,
Yours,
