Dear Colonel Schofield:

Fritz Kraemer has given me his correspondence
with you.

I remember our association many years ago with
a great deal of warmth and I would like to be helpful
to you. However, your letter to Fritz did not make
clear what exactly you had in mind. Did you want to
study for a Ph.D., do independent research, work
for a research organization or a combination of all
three. If you are interested in a combination, then
it would be next to impossible to arrange at Harvard.
But why don't you write me what your plans are and
I will then see what I can do.

With kind regards.

Dear Fritz,

Per our telephone conversation, I have prepared a one page resume and an academic background sheet which are attached. Although I haven't made a decision to retire from the Army, I realize that the mathematics of my probability for promotion, with or without a physical disability, are weighted highly toward the unlikely. For this reason I am toying with my options, one of which is as outlined in the career objective of Attachment 1. Coupled with that objective is a high motivation to make an early settlement in an area where a private school, on a day student basis, would be available for my 16 year old son, a sophomore in high school. Additional to this immediate personal consideration is the advantage which would accrue to me during his college years, if I were in the educational field.

In thinking about the above, I sorted out my Ph.D. friends and found that, in the main, they consist of yourself, DeWitt Clinton Armstrong, III, Larry Legere and Henry Kissinger, the latter more of an acquaintance. I felt someone, such as yourself and Kissinger, who had been over the route before, could more objectively advise me than anyone I knew. In the specific of Harvard University, my thoughts were structured around its prestige, size and heavy endowment. This latter point I felt important from the aspect of financial assistance through faculty or administrative employment during my student phase.

There is no urgency to any of this, Fritz, but I would appreciate an objective appraisal. I believe that my field of interest would be toward an inter-disciplinary effort in either international economics or lesser developed area assistance through a pursuit of studies in both business administration and political science. I visualize this type of program as an integration of weapon systems management experience, political-military experience and additional formal education.

Regardless of the result of your consideration, I will always appreciate your having given it some thought.
