Dear Esther and Josh:

I have succeeded, finally, to battle through almost 2 feet of
snow to the vicinity of an efficient secretary who can transcribe my
written expression of gratitude for your kind hospitality. The little
snow that is sufficient to paralyze life in the East also made my return
trip a lengthy one. I did not get home until 6:30 the next morning after
having spent almost the entire night in a plane between Chicago and
Idlewild, with a 2-hour unscheduled stop in Washington. It was
pleasantly adventurous rather than uncomfortable.

As usual, I shall remember, thanks to you, my trip to
Madison as one of the year's most pleasant and stimulating activity. I
hope that this time less than two years will elapse before I get a chance
to see you again.

I shall let you know about my interview with Edward Simon
within a few days.

With very best regards,

Sincerely,

Qe]

Werner Braun
