Dear Mr. Deakins:

I am writing to inquire into the possibility of your writing an article for *Confluence*, a magazine with which I believe you are familiar and which is designed to give European, Asian and American intellectuals an opportunity to exchange views on contemporary problems in politics, philosophy and the humanities.

We are now planning a topic on which we would very much appreciate a contribution from you. It deals with a comparison of the impressions of various people from different countries who have recently visited the Soviet bloc, including the USSR, the satellites and China. I would be interested in their reactions to the developments they see there, the differences between the various countries, and what all this would indicate about future relations between the Soviet bloc and the rest of the world. Would you be willing to write something for us along these lines?

We would be in a position to pay you $100 for an article of between three and four thousand words, and would need to have it here by April 30th.

I hope very much that you will be able to write something for us and will look forward to hearing from you.

Professor Giovanni Spadolini, Editor
Il Resto del Carlino
Bologna, Italy

Dear Professor Spadolini:

The topic which we are currently planning and on which we would appreciate your contribution deals with the changing nature of international relations in the last few years. It seems to me that for the past decade or so our policy has been influenced very much by the patterns of the cold war. Whether or not the cold war continues, it would seem that we have reached a crucial point and that it might be well to assess such things as the meaning of alliances, the posture to take toward the Soviet Union, our attitude toward colonialism, and the relation of these things to each other. It is clear that one article cannot deal with all these matters, but within the framework of the topic on "The Impact of the Cold War on our Thinking and the Changing Nature of International Relations" I would hope that you might find something of interest.

We would be in a position to pay you $100 for an article of between three and five thousand words, and would need to have it here by April 20th.

Dear Mr. Baldacci:

I am writing to inquire into the possibility of your collaborating with *Confluence*, a quarterly designed to give European, Asian and American *Intellectuals* an opportunity to exchange views on contemporary problems in politics, philosophy and the humanities. In present times it has seemed to us particularly important to have a review which comprises as many different approaches and points of view as possible without editorializing. Each issue is therefore in the form of a symposium on which our contributors are asked to express themselves. I am enclosing a copy of a recent issue.

Dear Arthur:

It was good to hear from you and to know that
you are back in Cambridge. I am most eager to have a
chance to have lunch with you and to see you again.
When I next come up to Cambridge, I shall let you know.

My life here is interesting, although hectic be-
yond any description. I am in the last stages of
finishing a book and, in my case at least, this is
synonymous with advanced hysteria.

Warm regards.

Dear Henry:

The Winter, 1957 issue of CONFLUENCE has just reached me and I am writing this note to tell you what a distinguished issue I think it is. The whole plan of a survey of Wilson's significance was a brilliant one, and this issue and its predecessor are documents of permanent value.

I hope that when you come up to Cambridge next time you will have lunch with me.

With my best wishes, I am
