My dear Ernst:

I should have written you long
before this. However, I seem to be getting
busier all the time.

This is just a note to tell you
that your picture arrived. It is exquisite
and perfect for my room. You would be
amazed how different everything looks now.
I am most grateful to Miekje and you for
your thoughtfulness.

So far I am very pleased with
Johnson. What do people think in Europe?

I will be writing you a longer
letter soon.

With warm regards as always.

'S-GRAVENHAGE, 21. February 1964

VAN OUWENLAAN 50

My dear Henry,

Thank you so much for your February 17th letter. I will be glad to attend the conference on March 7,8 and 9 on United States-European Relations and I hope very much that it will be in Boston. If any hotel-reservations are necessary for this week-end I presume that you will deal with that.

Thank you very much for reserving my room in the Commander. I have a few special wishes which I hope are not too much. I would very much like to have a desk at the Center and it would be most helpful to me if I could discuss what is ready in my manuscript with one of the secretaries, purely on the point of English language. The only requirement of the man or girl who would help me is that she knows the language well and is a little bit "au courant" as to the "jargon" of the particular subject. I think that it is better to arrange eventual appointments when I am in Harvard.

What I plan to do is try to write parts of my last chapter over there and discuss my manuscript with you. I am completely at your disposal to lecture in the Seminar on the latest European developments. I think it would be worth while to tell them how the situation has developped since my last stay in Harvard.

I am very happy to see you again and I am greatly looking forward to Harvard. I am also greatly looking forward to go with you to the Bilderberg. The list of participants is really very impressive and I trust that it will be a good conference. It keeps me very busy at this moment, so are many other things and I am a little unhappy about the fact that I can only write and study late in the night.

I will let you know my probable arrival time on the 5th, not to bring you to the Airport but to see whether we can still meet in the evening.

Dear Ernst:

This is just a note, upon my return to the United States,
to tell you what a great joy it was to see you in Paris and
how grateful I was for everything Mr. Fels did for me in Vienna.

We are all looking forward to seeing you here the first
week of November. Most of my furniture has arrived including
the double couch. I would, therefore, be delighted if you would
stay with me. The only technical problem is that I have a maid
who comes only twice a week (if she can find a parking space),
but my landlady's maid comes once every day and I am sure could
be convinced to make our beds. This leaves two days when we might
have to shift for ourselves. If this does not bother you, I have
as you will see plenty of space. On the other hand I could fully
understand it if you decided that you would be more comfortable in
a hotel. Please let me know.

I have one other question. As you know, Stanley Hoffmann
and I have started a Seminar on West European matters. The first
term will be devoted to problems of social structure in Europe, the
second with issues of European integration and Atlantic relationships.
I know that the second topic is really your dish; however, both Stanley
and I would be very eager to have you meet with our Seminar on Wednesday
afternoon, November 4th. You would have to speak on a different topic
than the one that has occupied you recently. We were hoping that you
might introduce a discussion of European ruling groups and what changes
have taken place there since the war. It occurred to me that it might
be fun for you to do a little something different this time. We are
not thinking of a very scholarly presentation but of the impressions
of somebody who is himself a member of the ruling group.

Since we must make our plans about this very soon, could you
let me no as soon as possible?

Warm regards also to Miekje.

My dear Henry,

Thank you ever so much for your nice letter of
October 5.

The double couch had an enormous temptation but
you spoilt it by your later remark that you had your
own bedroom!

I think, however, that it is much easier for you
and me that we spend as much time together as we can
but that I take a room in Boston.

Would you be kind enough to ask Joan to reserve
a quiet room in the Ritz Carlton for the week begin-
ning on Monday the second and would you also be kind
enough to ask her to confirm this to me, adding the
telephone number of the Ritz.

I will be happy to comply with your request about
your Seminar on Wednesday afternoon November the 4th
and I am very glad that you do not expect a scholarly
presentation.

When I arrive in Boston we can easily discuss what
is expected from me.

I would, however, also be happy to talk about my
own subject in the Center if there is any possibility
for it. I would love to check my ideas with my friends
there.

Do not forget that we spend electionsnight anyhow
together.!

Would it be possible for you to read the part of
my manuscript that I gave you in Paris and discuss it
with my in Harvard?

I will arrive in New York on the evening of the
23rd of October and stay in the Regency for about a
week.

I think that I will spend the weekend before
Harvard in Washington but I will let you know.

It gives me great joy to spend a week in your
neighbourhood.

With warmest regards,
