BORIS HAGELIN aK -

Dear Bills 

Many thanlcs for your interesting letter o~ Sept .7., 

and for the very intoresting article regarding the 

Voyn1ch manuscript, by Elizebeth. You showed me 

once your photostat of this int.rigu1ng document, 

and I c~rtainly look forward to the day, when you 

will divulge the contents of your "priority" anegram 

- and also your solution of the enigma. 

I see from your letter thet you have been travelling 

to Las Vegas, - I have a cousin living there, by the 

way. Annie and myself, have had a very.lively summer, although the travolling has been confined to 

our going to Sandhamn in J,uly and to FryksAs in 

August. All our American children have now 10ft 

home, ill..argareta and her fa.mi ly last week, and they 

should be spending a few days in Paris now, before 

embarking on the plane to New Yil>r,k on Sept • ~6. 

I have been with Annie in Stockholm during the last 

few days, to visit old friends, and to go to the 

opera. Did you meet Ivir. h:d st rom? We were to dinner 

at his home. Although he will be 92 this fall, he 

could still drink both you and myself under the 

table. But he is now getting old. 

T'Ci morrow morning we shall st art on our trek 

we will go by way of Gothdnburg, Copenhagen, 

and Benns there will again be old friends to visit, 

and also people to meet on business. We should 
, , ,. -arrive in Zug inlt!S:E" a:fj?)e---~g12§gpt. 22nd. 

Then we shall stay in Zug~til X-mas, when we p~an 

to spend the holidays in :Sweden. Well, except for a 

trip to Menton, to look after the work on our apartment there, and eventually a trip to Vienna, for the 

· opera. 

Well, this must seem i .. ather a trivial way of 

our late years, - in comparison with the very important and interesting work, you and Elizebeth are . engaged in. But I really do some work also , and I 

wish you could come over to see all that has been 

accomplisged in Zug since your last visit there. 

Why not try to route your next European voyage via 

the Nice airport - direct planes at least from New 

Yo:nk, a.nd from Nice it is only about half an hour 

to M<3nton. 

' 

Now, with re~ard to the books, you.asked me to find 

for you. As we are leaving tomorrow, I could not 

help you myself, but I have given all your aata to 

my brother Wolodja, who will try to locate the books. 

It would be a great help for him, if you could give 

him some details about the occasion, on which your 

friend saw the books in Stockholm, - where was the 

lecture held, and to what kind of audience? My 

brother could then eventμally get hold of a Swedish 

counterpart to your friend, in hls search for the 

books. Please write him, to the following addreses 

Mr.Wolodja Hagelin,~arnagatan 8, Sodertalje , Sweden. 

We hope that Elizebeth and your good self are both 

well, and that it wont ' be too long before we could 

meet again. Annie and myself are not at p~esent planning any trip to the USA: for one thing we had all 

our children over here this summer, ·and for the other 

I have so much to attend to in Zug and thereabouts, 

that I would not 11ke to make any long voyages at 

present. 

We hope to hezia. from you soon again, and with affectionate regards from home to home, I remain 

Sincerely
