Dear Henry:

It was so good to talk to you yesterday, and I
do so much hope that you will be able to accept the
invitation to come to the Council's rencontre that will
be held at Endicott House. An invitation under separate
cover is being sent to you from New York. (filed Kissinger Draft 1/23/69/mar 4/23/69)

I have not wanted to impose on you during what I
know has been a very busy time, but I would like very
much to see you when I am next in Washington if it is
convenient for you. I find that I will be there from
about 2:30 to 7:30 P.M. on Wednesday, April 30. I
shall be on my way from Providence to Raleigh, North
Carolina.

I would so much like to see you again.

Dear Henry:

Please forgive my failure to write you before this to say
thank you for the very pleasant time we were able to spend together.
I have yet to hear from the soviet ambassador but I expect that
western time is not eastern time!

I was fascinated by the Reston interview with Chou. Reston
emerged as a bumbler but he certainly brought out a whole host of
remarkable statements from Chou. Tis only a pity that he did not
know how to react to more than a quarter of them.

Incidentally, in your very voluminous correspondence you
may have neglected to read the mimeographed explanation by David
Rockefeller of the Foreign Affairs imbroglio involving Bill Bundy.
If you have not seen it I urge you to retreive it from your
files and read it. It tells a fantastic amount about every element
in our society and is at one and the same time both sad and funny.

I do hope you are well and that there will be a chance to
see you when I return from England.

Dear Henry:

I have tried, without success, to reach you for many
weeks now. Knowing what your life is like, I would not be
making the effort if there were not something that I very much
needed to discuss with you. I wonder whether you have any time
free between now and the end of August. I leave on August 31
for a month of conferences in Europe. Before that I am in
Cambridge almost continuously.

Helen died on Tuesday, and I am in Bernardsville this
weekend for the memorial service; otherwise, I expect to stay
pretty close to home in Cambridge.

My interest in seeing you is sufficiently urgent for me
to be prepared to fly to Florida if that is a more convenient
solution for you. Needless to say, I would much prefer to see
you in Washington.

Is there any chance to meet? I very much hope that
it will be possible.

Ever,

Stephen R. Graubard

Dear Henry:

I know you will be pleased to hear that I spent the better part of yesterday with George Brockway and Donald Lamm at Norton's, and they have accepted to publish my book. I am delighted. I have great confidence in Norton's, and I like everything about them.

What I think will please you, also, is that I have now had typed the first 201 pages of the manuscript, which I consider a very, very first draft but which others say is considerably better than that. John and Jill Conway, who spent the weekend with me, were fascinated with the material--which is another way of saying that they, like so many others, had no idea that "you said the whole thing!"

I am in Europe for three weeks of conferences, but I am cutting short my stay there to return just as soon as those meetings are over, to go further with the manuscript. In fact, I hope to do some writing even when I am abroad.

I so much appreciated my time with you last Monday, and I will hope very much that we can get together soon after my return for more talk. You are going to be pleased when you

Dear Henry:

I am sure that all those people who have written you nasty
letters are now writing you another kind! I have had very amusing
conversations in the last two or three days that one day I will want
to tell you about. The Cambridge world is even funnier than you
ever imagined.

I write you mostly to say that I am, of course, very happy for
you, and that your press conference was as masterful an exercise in
public education as I have ever seen in this country, bar none. You
have every reason to be pleased by that, quite independently of
anything else.

I also wanted to let you know that Hélène d'Andlau is expected
to be in this area next week and in New York the week after. I hope
to go to Washington with her for a few days around February 12 to 14.
Is there any possibility that you would have time to shake hands with
her on that occasion? I know she would be thrilled by the opportunity
if it is possible. We will be traveling with her cousin, Peter
Wolkonsky, who, you may recall, was the one person in Paris two and
a half weeks ago who spoke favorably of what you were doing, and whom
I told you about in our talk in Paris. He is a man of extraordinary
charm and great distinction. You would appreciate him; the race is
not continuing in his form.

I hope we can see each other. In fact, if you take meals
out, nothing would please me more than to have the chance to lunch
or dine with you. In addition, I would not even charge it off as a
business expense!

Looking forward to hearing from you, and with warmest regards,

Ever yours,

Dear Henry:

First, welcome home! I was able to keep my galleys for all of 72 hours before the publishers claimed them. They now say that they will give me all of 48 hours next Tuesday when I pick up my page proofs. I hope that I can persuade them to do a little better than that. In any case, this is to let you know that I would like to get the pages to you soon after I myself receive them. I shall be telephoning you from New York on Tuesday, to see whether that will be possible for you. I realize, of course, that it may not make any sense at all for you to be given a set of pages with a deadline as imminent as the one that I am threatened with. I did think, however, that I should give you warning that I will be calling you about that.

I am quite pleased with what I have written. If I had six more months, I suspect that I could improve the book by as much as 10 or 15 percent; I am not certain that it would make a great deal of difference in its ultimate reception. I feel that I have made my point, that it is a good one, and I hope that others will think so. I have rarely enjoyed doing anything more. I have rarely been so drained by the effort.

With warmest regards,

Dear Henry:

I was very touched by much of what you said on Sunday afternoon. Had we been entirely alone, I would have talked (and argued) more openly. However, given the fact that I do not really know either the Brandons or the Lords at all well, I thought it best to restrict my comments. However, I do very much want to see you again (and not to bring you the voice of the intellectual community--incidentally, I don't know that I have ever done that, nor do I think it particularly important that I try to).

I hope to be in Washington next week (date still unknown), and I will then stay for several weeks. I hope very much that we can have some short time together.

I know what these days are like for you, and I need not tell you how much I feel for you. I so much look forward to seeing you.

With warmest regards,

Dear Henry:

I have never been more touched by you than I have these last
weeks. From the time that you delivered your Pacem in Terris speech,
which, unfortunately, was never read and which many of those who heard
you scarcely understood, to the time that you commented on your Nobel
Peace Prize, to yesterday's press conference, I have planned to write
you. I believe that you have never shown yourself to be more
effective, and that you are never likely to operate under much more
adverse circumstances. If you were not so overwhelmed with various
responsibilities at this time, I would crave half an hour of your
time, to let you know how I have felt, and to inform you about the
fections of others. All this, I think, would have interest for you.
Perhaps I will put down on paper some of the things that have happened
these last weeks, and when we are both less overwhelmed by events of
the moment, I will read the text to you.

I write now to say that I hope very much that I can be in
Europe at the time you receive your Nobel Prize. If it is possible
for you to invite guests to the occasion, I would welcome an invitation.
The awarding of the prize to you has given me immense pleasure, and I
would like to be able to share the occasion with you.

With warmest regards.
