Dear Mr. Friedman: 

April 29, 1954 

AIR MAIL 

Despite my avowed intention to be present with you 

May 4 to 7, 1954, I now find that I will be unable to do 

so because of some very urgent company business which 

demands my personal attention. 

I do intend to be present for the May 21 meeting 

but to prevent unnecessary work on your part, should I 

be prevented, request you omit travel orders, etc., since 

I never use th~ &D1W&y to collect expenses. 

Perhaps John Howard can fill me in on happenings 

next week so that I will not be too cold for the May 21 

meeting. 

I am very sorry that I cannot be with you next week. 

Sincerely,

For future travel, would you please furnish Government TR's

The one I just received routed me from Paoli to Philadelphia 

to Washington. Although my place of work is Paoli, I usually 

take the train to Washington from Chester, since it is nearer

Dear i"ir. Friedman: 

Thank you tor your ve17 good letter of March 

29. I have, in the meantime, also had a letter from 

Brigadier Tiltman who has been so kind to send along with 

it a reprint or the Ventris-Chadwick paper, Journ. of 

Hellenic Studies {19SJ). Needless to say, I am very glad 

indeed about this attention and the paper interests me 

very much. 

Both Mrs. von Neumann and I are looking foiward 

to meeting Mrs. Friedlllan and you in Washington at the time 

of the next meeting of· the NSF-SAB on .April 20-21. 

I also had a letter from John c. Yi.ePherson concerning the meeting of the SUbcom.ittee on General Puipose 

Flexible AnalJrtical Equipment May 4-7, l9S4. I would like 

to coma to these meetings, or at least tor part of them. 

I am not absolutely certain about my obligations at that 

time, but I think that it will probabl.¥ be best it I will 

learn from you at the time ot the April 20-21 meeting what 

the agenda on Mq 4-7 is elCp&cted to be, and how I can best 

participate. 

I am, with best personal regards, 

JvN:eg
