Dear Professor Gutmann:

How nice it was to hear from you again. I still have the fondest
recollections of the colloquium and I still have the volumes of
the Principia Mathematica that you encouraged (?) me to peruse.
In fact my tastes still run in a Leibnizian vein as may be
revealed somewhat vaguely by the enclosure.

I would certainly be delighted to have the chance to see you
again and will keep your invitation in mind. I doubt if it will
be feasible before I move to New York City early in September.

I hear very good things of you from our mutual friends and hope
to reinforce that with more personal encounters in the not too
distant future.

Yours sincerely,

JL/gel
