Dear Or. Jones:

AB you suggested, I have asked Ephrussi, quite informally, as
to the prospects of his visiting Ann Arbor during the fall.

He will be starting his lectures at Harvard in mid@Beptember, and
ie due to satay in residence there until the end of the year. He will
have to return promptly to Paris, and it will therefore not be convenient
for him to take any engagements then. However, he my find an osnortu-
nity during the fall session.

Since he will not be able to fix hie plans until then, I would sug-
gest you write to him about the end of September or early October, if
you can enlist sufficient interest in his speaking at Ann Arbor. I
need hardly add my own coment on the substance and technique of his
presentations. :

If this goes through, and he enjoys anything nearly like the wonder-~
ful hospitality that Esther and I did, he will certainly enjoy a pleasant
and profitable experience. Thies ie just a passing ex-ressiion of our thanks
to your colleagues and yourself.

Yours olncere ly,
