THE INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDY
PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY
OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR
28 February 1955
Dear Dean:
Now that, at long last, we are sending you the
last pages of the transcript of your seminars here, perhaps
I should write you a note.
I have read most, if not all, of the transcript
as it has come through. I am thus aware of the fact that
it is not in good shape. There are a good many names wrong,
and sometimes there is garble; and in addition, of course,
a lot of people like me talked when they should have held
their tongues. Nevertheless, the impression I have is that
these pages are a real mine of insight, of information, of
wisdom, and of humor. I hope that you will not be appalled
and discouraged by the present state of the transcript, and
that you will find it possible to get it to such a point of
cleanness that it can be useful to scholars in times to come.
If, in any way, we can help you to do this--either
we ourselves, or we as employers of assistants for you--we
would like to do it, and would regard it as a proper rounding
out of a large undertaking.
