Dear Joshua:

Many thanks for your letter. In the meantime, I had a letter from
Gunther Stent and, unfortunately, he would not be able to come for more
than three or four months, My colleagues are quite e@pposed to this idea
and would like to have somebody for at least one year, I shall still try
to see whether J can convince them to consider the proposition of Giinther
but there is not too much hope. For this reason, I should appreciate it
very much if you could suggest us some other names.

We shall take care about the problem concerning the bronze replica
of the Nobel medal, Also, we shall arrange the things with Mr. Steen,
Unnecessary to say, we shall be looking forward with great pleasure to
see you again in May.

With warmest greetings, also to Ester,

As ever,

/
