Many thanks for the PS on "Elizebeths letter to Anniel 

The main resaon I write to you today is tha.t I just h(id a letter 

from Bo, where he told me among other things.that he exp~cted to 

go to Ciudad Trujillo in order to sell machinesa I do not think 

·. ·· ... ·· ... ·· ... ··.. · .. · .. · .. · .. · .. 

Bo also 1n his letter gave me the reason for not acceptingthe 5% 

I offered him for the pocket machine rights: There is so much interest 

shown in the US for this machine, that he feels that his r1~hts are 

worth more /10%/, -

I I had a talk wl th John Ferguson a few days ago, and I suppose that 

I must say that Bo wri tee very reasonbih.j. worded letters now, and that 

he evidently puts a lot of work and energy into our businesso 

Will you please thank Elizebeth from Annie for her long and interesting letter, telling all about the Friedman offspringo As you know, 

Ann_1e cannot write in English, but she may later on 11 dictate 11 a letter 

to me, for Elizebetha 

Annie has been feeling better lately, but she has not regained her ~brenght by any me•ns, this will take timeo We will stay in Zug 

until the 21st o~ December, when we expect to go to Rome for the 

Holidays. This w~ll be the first time we will ta~e some time for 

sightseetng,and not for business, tn Rome, and we only hope for 

some suno 

We would like to go to Sicily in January, but this ls too early to 

say for certain, if we can do it or noto A lot will depepd on the ne~ociations with John F., who should be back from a round-the..-world 

trip by theno 

Now we do hope that you are both wello And I trust it will not be 

long be~ore I get your comments on the Bo ques·ttons., 

With love and affectionate regards from Annie and myself. 

Sincerely

Mr. William F. Friedman, 

310 Second street, S.E. 

Washington 3 D.C. 

Dear Bill: 

Zug, L~' 27, 1958. 

EO 3.3(h)(2) 

PL 86-36/50 USC 3605 

Many thanks for your letter of Oct 22nd, with all the enclosures, 

for which I thank you most heartily. 

1/ First of all·, our heartiest congratulations on account the the new 

grand.eons arrival. Please give Barbara our best wishes, when you talk 

to her hext. 

2/ Now that the report by Prof. Stiefel has been brans.lated 1 nto 

English, I trust that your people may start to study it. I a.m however 

not enttrel.t· happy about -it, as there are several points which might y~lld some important reinilte, if we only had the chance \of talking 

them over. 

3/ I was glad to note· that the artiule in the N.Y.~ Times was quite 

correct, with regard to the working of the pocket machine. ~n the 

other hand, I had of course preferred that no figures had be.en mentioned about my prev~ous dealings in the U.S. 

4/ It gave me pleasure /naughty!/ to read the clippings re our friend 

Ackerman. But havent you shown me these or similar clippings before? 

I begin to suspect some nrevioualy undisclosed Freudian complexe.s in 

you, on account of your ea~tataad interest ir:i A. I hope it does not 

parallell my date~complexes. I return the clippings enclosed. 

5/ r_....t..r..ii~--.w.a.i..-.....a..a..~~--~:.....c.~i.u..u~~-W.liLl=l..lil~--lU.-..W~l.t.....ll ........ ~~~~i..=....... da • 

So we will revert or Y.Q!.! w 

later on. 

6/ Annie and I expected to go to Stockholm at the end of Novemeer. 

But her stomach troubles have been so proctracted, that - although she feels better now - we decided to call this trip crff o We expect 

inetead to leave for Stciby in the beginning of December, and then 

spend the New Year in Rome.

7/ I think that I have ~·solution for a"rotor machine" without 

rotors. Yoa might probably already have had the same ideas, but I'll 

work on mine and we'll eee,what will come of it. 

And so I lay down my oen /I was going to write "I lay me down to rest" 

but actually I was going to have lunch~/, hoping to hear from you 

soon again. Annie and I send our love and affectionate regards to 

Elizebeth and your good self. 

Sincerely
