Dear Tilt.man:-

I was very pleased to receive yours 0£ the 29th of' Vay, 

(JHT/2S). Both Jlra. Frieanan and I wish to &8:11.lre you o£ our 

pleaaure in b&.ving you as our guest. Urs. Friedman ind::.cates that 

i£ all guests were as little trou.bla as you were everything would 

be rosy. 

Stevens has just come :m and will be ready tor act1 ve 

cooperation at once, since he ia going back to his original quarters 

and lfill not have to spend any time searching £or a pl.a.ca to live. 

I bad only var:1tew minutes with him and learned some verJ surprising 

news in connectiai llith J.U.A.-upon l'duch we bad been devoting a very 

good deal of time and effort. Now it appears that. you have obtained 

the anmmr in good part at least, and just ae soon as I can get some 

more of the story from Stevena 11e nll send you a message and t.ry" to 

obtain details; unless, of course, Kullback arrives lt'ithin the next 

few days and brings tbe etor,r w.i th him. 

Your proposal to exchange mcnthly letters with Stevena is 

an excellent idea, and I ahall. look forward to having news from :Y\'U 

at these interval.a. 

1ly hearv congratulations on your succeaa with the 

Oeheimsohreiber. lfe shall look forward 111. th a great deal of interest 

to learning the details fr001 Kullback. I have not been able to devote 

any tune to thia myaelf 1 and the man lil.o baa been on it was naturally 

handicapped ey lack ot experience, and, more importantly, lack or 

trat!io. Ot course, our interest in the system right now- ia theoretical 

at.nee we are rot in a position to obtain the traf'.tic ourselves as yet, 

but if and 11ben our local "I• Camni ttee get.a organised perhapa 1 t 1f1l.l

I should add it to my collection.

good translator•. 

lfe have all been working wry bard and there has not been arrr

shore. It was hardly- worth the long trip, however., for so rshcrt a ti.me. 

I have been teeling tiratr-rate and hope 800n to be back in uni.form. It 

takes a 1ang time for the wheels to grl.nd,, and the procedure is apparently
