Mr. William F. Friedman 

310 Second Street, s. E. 

Washington 3, D. C. 

My dear Mr. Friedman: 

~ REF ID:A70077 

Salzburg, • May 25, 1954 

Rudolf Bieblstr&sze 17/11 

Referring to your letter or 14 M81° 1954 I find it quite understandable that 

you, who are still active in the field, are not master ot your time since our 

professional work grips so firmly that often there is not a free hour for eating 

and sleeping, let alone tor any other activity. Thus letters pile up before one 

can think or answering them. However, our .field trains one in patience, of which 

I have an abundant supply and this has now been rewarded by the receipt ot your 

letter. 

I thank yau kindly tor having expended your valuable time in the study of my 

letter ot 25 September 1953 and the enclosures and tor having informed me ot the 

result. 

Personall,y I regret your statement that it is impossible tor you to acquire 

rrry writings tor your private collection; with an eye to the material, however, I 

should prefer that n\Y' manuscripts came into a public library or other institution 

where they would be available to any interested party and would serve to aid the 

study of fairly extensive circles, whereas they would be available to only a few 

people it they were to remain in the possession of an individual or ot sdlne 

government agency. 

Libraries and the like rarely have means tor the purchase of fairly costly 

works and are generally forced to rely on the generosity or some Maecen~us in 

such cases, for which reason I much appreciate your otter to assist in discovering 

such a Maecenus. 

In this connection I welcome your suggestion or commissioning eome one of 

your friends who may be in the vicinity of 3a.lzburg with the inspection of rrry 

writings and gladly agree to this ha.PPY' idea. 

The execution would have to be under certain conditions which I am sure will 

appear proper both to you and to the friend to whom yOQ. !iw.y entrust the matter. 

The most important of these conditions would be that your friend must be an · expert in the field because only an expert can judge a professional work correctly. 

It would also be important that your representative be absolutely reliable 

a..."ld closed mouthed, because I lmow that some of your experts are in close 

contact with those in Vienna a."ld in Bonn. I do not wish one of these men to be bro~ht into the picture and to repeat in consequence my sad experiences of 

1926/27 l.rhich led to the confiscation or the books ! had i'lritten at t~..a.t tirrl3, 

since at ~ advanced age - I am Sl - I should not be e~ual to such ~ental and 

spir:l.. tua~- upsets o 

I should also be ~ppreciative, dear Mr. Friedrn&n~ if you would eive me 

frankly and oper.4" tte k2nef'it of your experl opinion as an aid to ma in 

evaluating ay.d fixing a price for the document • .. 
.. • REF ID:A70077 

er secondary imJ:ortance &~e the choice or the place ro~ ir.spection or the 

work, tor which ! suggest ey dwellir..g here; then t~e presence of my wife and 

one of my children at the exa..'"lillB.tion; .f'inally the time .for the e:xarniriation, 

which could of course be s.rra.nged di:rectJ.J" with your friend. I1._ this 

con.."lectioi1 I would mention the fact that a ·vacation in the country has been 

planned .for July-August and that I should net be in Salzburg at that time. 

Awai ti11g further woro. from you, I assu..-.oe you of 11\Y lasting esteem and 

reciprocate cordially your friend~ greetings.

Mein lieber Herr Friedman 

Zu Ihrem Brief e vom. 14~ai 1954 find.a_ i~h es verst~ich,dass 

Sie-noch akti v im Fache . tatig-nicht Herr lhrer Zei t sind, wail unse~e 

Facharbeit so fest in ihre!l Bann zieht ,dass nicht nur fUr and.ere Tatigkei ten,sond.ern oft zum Besen und Schlafen kaum eine fn,ie Stunde bleibt, 

also auch Briefe sich hi:i.ufen, bevor an ihre Beantwortung gedacht warden 

kann.Unser Jach erzieht jedoch su Geduld,die auch mir reichlich eigen 

ist UDd. welche durch Ibr Bchreiben mm ihren Lohn fand. 

lch daDke Ihnen bestens,dass Sie lhre kostbare Zeit an das 

Btudium meines Briefes vom 25.Sept~ber 1953 uDd seine »eilagen gewandt 

haben und mir freundlichs t das Ergebnis bekanntgaben. 

P e r s 6 n 1 i c h bedauere ich die von Ihnen auf gezeigte 

Umntsglichkeit des Erwerbes meiner Schriften f"ur lhre p~ivate bammlq; 

s a o h 1 i c h aber habe ich den Gedanken bevorzugt,dass meine 

lanuscripte besser in eine 6ffentliche Bibliothek oder sonstig-e Anstalt 

kame:n, wo sie j edem lnteressenten erreichbar waren um als Bahe lf zum · .. ~ 

Studium weiterer Kreise dienen WU.rden,wogegen sie im. Privat-oder AmtsBesitze nur "fenigen zuganglich blieben. 

Nun verf"ugen Bibliotheken udgl.nur selten Uber die lit tel zur 

AnschaffUDg kostspieligerer 'lerke,sondern s1nd in solchenFallen meist 

auf die Generositit von Ma.zenen angewiesen,daher ich dankbar Ibr Anbot 

WU.rdige,bei ~rmittelui:g eines solchen Ka.zens behilflich zu sein. 

In dem Zusammellhange begrU.sze ich Ihren Fingerzeig,einen in der 

Na.he Salzburgs befindlichen lhrer FreUIJde mit der Einsicht·_in meine ~ 

Scbriften su· ... befassen und stimme ich dieser go.ten !dee geme zu •

" die sowohl lhnen,wie auch dem von Ihnen zu betrauenden ~rjne und mir 
oi - •

Die wichtigste dieser ~edingungen ware,dass lhr Freund Facbmann 

sein disste,weil nur ein solcher richtig Uber eine Facbarbeit urteilt • 

• Wichtig ware waiters volle Vertrauenswurdigkeit UDi absolute 

Verschwiegenhe~t ~hresf __ Gewahrsmanms,weil ich weiss,dass gewisse"lhrer 

Fachleute mit jenen in lien uDd in Bonn in enger Verbindung siild..Ioh 

wunsche nicht,daS! einer von d!esen ~ugezogen wird uDl als eventuelle

hob.en Alter--ich za.hle 81 Jahre--d.erartigen seelisohen UDi geistigen 

~sturmen nicht mebr gewachsen ware. 

leit~ra wU.rde ich_ lert __ darauf legen,dasa Sie,lieber Herr Friedman, 

mir das ~rgebnis der Expertise voll und offen bekanntgeben al.s Maszstab
