Dear Joshua:

Thank you very much for your letter of December 29, which will be
helpful. As you know, it is rather difficult to get travel support for
a scientific team of husband and wife, since they will always be suspected
for pleasure trips. For this reason, it would be actually better if Eva
and I could receive separate letters of invitation, if this is not too
much trouble for you. If you could mention the support quoted in your
previous letter, this would be perfectly adequate and I am hopeful that
we shall be able to get travel grants for both of us; I have discussed the
matter in detail with the chairman of the Cancer Society the other day. It
is, however, rather essential that we have separate letters of invitation;
if possible, our tasks should be formulated in a different way. I am
sorry to bother you with this, but I think that we shall be able to get
the right result in this way. There is no hurry about it, because we shall

not be able to apply before March.

With love and best wishes for Happy New Year, also from Eva,

Yours as ever,

George Klein
