Dear Henry,

I don't suppose that it will surprise you that the only time you hear from us down here is when we have a big favor to ask of you. We are so bogged down in the production of our false pearls that we have long ago dispensed with the amenities.

As is characteristic of military institutions, most of the people who were here when you were with us last summer have departed or are about to. Colonel Newton has gone to Fort Knox, and Colonel Hoffman has moved over, or perhaps up, from Troop Command to replace him. Bill West, Bob Lisle, Norm Rosenberg, Col Petito, Major Hanson, and a host of others have moved on. Physically there is little change except that caused by a rather healthy fire over in the auditorium.

You have no doubt noticed that this note is hanging on to a rather bulky manuscript. This is where you come in. We are planning to print and issue this material as a text for both the advanced and basic courses. But before we go ahead with it, we would very much appreciate your going through it and giving us your frank criticism and any suggestions for improvement that you may have.

You will find fragments of Bob Lisle's Advance Text in Chapters 1 and 2 and most of my stuff on China that you read this summer in Chapter 4. The rest is new. In some places I have departed considerably from the standard academic treatment in an attempt to make the thing clear to people, as most of ours are, who have slipped through life unscathed by formal training in political science. If it seems at times that I belabor the obvious, this is the thinking behind it. Also, I have tried at all times to stick to moderate and generally accepted versions of events and interpretations of causes. However, if it seems to you that I've intruded any of my own political gimmicks, I am anxious to screen them out before someone goes after my head.

This is just a draft, so feel free to whack around on it with a pencil whenever you see something that looks dubious from the standpoint of content or muddy from the angle of composition. I have been so close to this thing for so long that I can't really tell whether what I want to say is actually on the page or still in my own mind.

Some items, of academic interest only, such as the connection, (or the lack of it), between the general metaphysical concept of materialism and economic determinism, have been deliberately slid over lightly even at the expense of a misleading appearance of over-simplicity. since I am convinced that to do otherwise would merely titillate the intellect of a half dozen philosophy majors while alienating hundreds of more normal potential readers.

I am scheduled for release from this monkey cage at the end of February, so if you can handle this before that time without interfering with your other commitments, we would really appreciate it. However, if you can't get to it right away, it's not fatal, since there is bound to be somebody around here who can edit your comments into the final draft and send it to press. I may be here after February myself as a civilian (it beats selling apples) so I may be able to do the final editing.

I realize this is a pretty big job to ask of you, but we will feel much safer about going ahead with the text after it has been reviewed by someone with a solid academic grounding in this sort of thing. About all we can offer in return is a couple of copies of the monster as soon as we reproduce it if you would like them for any reason.

So long for now and thanks a lot. If you're down here next summer, I may have a chance to see you again.

Dear Bob:

I have no idea where this will reach you -- one of the penalties
I have to pay for not having answered your letter of January 22nd
in a gentlemanly length of time. However, I did not return to
Cambridge until the middle of February and since coming back, have
been so swamped with the backlog of work plus 600 applications to
read for the Seminar, etc., etc. that I must admit I have not had
the time to do justice to the text. From a brief run-through, though,
I would say that it is a substantial job. If you are there now as a
civilian and there is still opportunity for me to do a thorough
reading of it, I would like to do it if it would be of any help.
I think I should have my head above water here after another two to
three weeks or so.

Do let me know where you are and what you are doing. I was glad
to get the enclosed note from Bob Gray and will close now so that
I can acknowledge his greetings and finally have a relatively clear
conscience about Holabird mail.

With best wishes,

Dear Henry:

Today is one of those rare cool days for mid-summer Baltimore and therefore a good time to knock out a note to you. I guess the biggest item of news from here, aside from the attrition of familiar faces and their replacement with new ones, is the beginning of excavations today for what will eventually be a new school building. The thing should be pretty well underway by the time you come down here in September.

I suspect that you have already surmised that this note wasn't going to go on much further without mentioning our dear old text, the Communist Movement. Colonel Hoffman dropped into the office the other day and said that he felt we ought to make a decision pretty soon whether we are going to publish the thing or not. Frankly, its chances of ever seeing the Reproduction Plant are not too rosy since Sweeney, McAllan, and Harbidge (I believe you know them all) are pretty emphatic in their disapproval of the thing, especially Chapter 4. However, we have to come to a definite decision, so we are asking you to send back the draft even though you haven't had time to go over it.

In the unlikely event that we do print the text, or some part of it, I'll send you up a copy if you would care to have one. Not quite the sort of thing you would want for "Confluence," but it should make a serviceable paperweight.

Agnes Wells left last Friday after some four years of service. We held a couple of parties for her during the week to give her a sendoff for her new career of full-time housewife. Incidentally, she mentioned that she would like you to call her when you are down here next September.

Dear Henry:

I received your letter a couple of days ago and with it the
realization that pouring over my bulky draft is a rather big favor
to ask of a man with too many other pressing duties. However, I
now suspect that I am doing an even more monstrous deed. Down in
your letter I notice a statement that you hope to be a little less
rushed in a couple of weeks. Leaning on this hope, I have taken the
liberty of sending the manuscript back to you. If you find that you
cannot do it without sacrificing your regular responsibilities, don't
feel that you have let us down -- time is a very finite commodity and
there's nothing any of us can do about it.

Bob Gray wrote you a letter yesterday morning, for Colonel
Hoffman's signature I suppose, inviting you down here for a lecture
next month. If you are able to come, perhaps the thing to do would
be to bring the draft along with you and we can talk over whatever
amount of the text you have had time to examine. I am enclosing a
penalty envelope also in case you prefer to use it.

I am settled down here as a civilian for the present and will
probably stay a year or more unless something attractive turns up.
This gives me the opportunity to finish off some of the too numerous
projects I have become involved in, including this Communist thing
which is probably the lengthiest of all. The reason I have been so
tenacious about seeking criticism from you, in addition to the fact
that it is healthy academic practice anyway, is that I do feel that
this particular subject needs attention at a higher level of authority
than we have available here. As you are already aware, I am under a
certain amount of pressure here from people who seem to believe that
I write texts merely as a vehicle for my personal political gimmicks.
I think I have allayed this sort of uncharitable suspiciousness by
the tone of the text -- at least I have certainly tried to -- but it
is also important that the text be as factually reliable as humanly
possible and that the analysis I have indulged in be intellectually
respectable. This is why I have not been content with merely rotating
the draft at Holabird among a jury of my peers, so to speak, but also
am seeking the benefit of your infinitely greater professional competence.

Dear Bob:

I arrived back from a week's vacation this morning to
find your note of June 24th. I don't mean to seem to be in
unusual haste to send this back but I think I best before your
request gets buried beneath the week's accumulation. I still
regret not being able to work on this as I had hoped to do but
as I guess I've made clear enough by now, it's been a bad Spring
pressure-wise. I would be interested to know what finally works
out with this piece.

Thanks for the note about Agnes Wells. I'll be sure to call.

Dear Palmer:

It has been ages since I have been in touch with you. I was sorry I didn't have more time when you visited Heidelberg during my tour of duty. You can rest assured at any rate that I remember your kindnesses to me in Tokyo with the greatest warmth.

I am writing you today about a Harvard undergraduate who has recently been drafted. I know next to nothing about him except what you will find on the attached sheet which he gave me, but he seems to be very interested in getting into CIC and I promised him that at least I would bring the matter to the attention of somebody who might do something about it. I want to make clear that this is not an endorsement either professionally or from a security point of view nor is it the opposite. I am simply sending this to you so that he will not get lost in the shuffle if he has a chance.

I trust you find your work interesting. How is my old friend Dereamer. He is probably still shuddering when he thinks of my uniform during parade. I am actually quite fond of the old boy.

Please give my best regards to your wife.

Dear Art:

My faith in the incorruptability of G-L at Fort Holabird has
been shaken since I learned of your new assignment. You will never
convince me that all this just happened. At any rate, congratulations
and I know you will enjoy it. I thank it that the advance course
continued as interesting as it was at the beginning. I really was very
much impressed by the little I saw of it —certainly very much impressed
by most of its participants. I think that recent events, both in Germany
and Japan, abundantly confirm the wisdom of your decision to remain where
you are.

Regarding CONFLUENCE, I hate to tell you that we have put in on a sub-
scription basis and that no more free copies are available. Since you are
undoubtedly living on a per diem expense account, contingent funds, and any-
thing else half-way legitimate, I am enclosing a subscription form in case
you should wish to subscribe. Please make your check payable to Harvard
University. So you see, even a CIC man will support Communist fronts. If
you have any friends in Germany whom you want us to send CONFLUENCE to, we
will send them a year's subscription for another dollar.

Do let me know how you are getting on.

Best wishes for the New Year -- also to Betty and the kids.

Sincerely,

P.S. I forgot to include my congratulations on the advent of a new Sears.
That's very good news.

Mr. Henry Kissinger

Cambridge 38, Mass.

Dear Henry,

Inclosed you will find your subscription card and my check. Thanks
for sending it to me, so that I may subscribe to Confluence. I see no rea-
son at all why you should express regrets that it is now necessary for me
to subscribe and pay for it, in the light of the old adage that "if a thing
is worth while it is worth paying for." Since I do feel that Confluence is
"worth while", I don't mind in the least paying for it -- even as a CIC-man.
And, further, I don't feel that by so doing I am "helping to support a sub-
versive organization," even if it is connected with Harvard. You may be sure
if I did think that there were any possibility of that, I would have abso-
lutely no part of it no matter who were connected with it - not even if it
were you, my dear Henry!

Actually, I'm very happy to be able to pay for the subscription to
your publication, as it is an indication to me that it has reached that stage
of maturity where its popular demand and support has exceeded its subsidy.
In other words, a clear and definite sign of success! In considering the
purpose for which Confluence is published, I find that very encouraging, in-
deed, and cause for considerable elation by all of us who are interested in
the welfare and best interests of our country -- or of humanity, for that
matter. More especially so since, I feel, your success in this venture in-
dicates the enormous possibilities which lend themselves to exploitation by
positive, aggressive action, such as yours. So, may I add my congratulations and
acclaim to that which you must be receiving from other (and probably much more
important) quarters.

I have requested that you send copies of Confluence to a couple of
characters -- and I use the term advisedly -- in the Philipps-Universitaet,
Marburg/Lahn, Germany. Let me tell you something about these two:

EBBINGHAUS, Julius, Dr. phil., 1.10.1930, Philosophie, Direktor
des Philosophischen Seminars, (home address) Schwanallee 21,
Marburg/Lahn (as listed in the Personal Verzeichnis). This pro-
fessor, head of the Philosophical Seminar, is the son of a Pro-
fessor Dr. Ebbinghaus who was the first Rector of the university
following the war. He was selected for this position because of
his being so well known for his "democratic convictions," which

resulted from time to time in his having been picked as the tar-
get for special attention by the Nazis. His basic political
orientation was, of course, "socialist" — and how! Ebbinghaus,
Sr., taught the "History of Art" and related subjects in the
Philipps-Universitaet. Following his term as Rector, Ebbinghaus,
Sr., went into retirement, though still a quite active indivi-
dual despite his age. Following the splitting off and establish-
ing of the University of Free Berlin, which attracted most of the
better qualified professors away from the Humbolt University in
East Berlin, Ebbinghaus, Sr., accepted a post with the Humbolt
University and permanently maintained an auto and a chauffeur for
the sake of commuting between Marburg and East Berlin. He lec-
tured regularly in the Humbolt Univ., and had his writings pub-
lished and printed in the East, where they are allegedly given
wide dissemination. Ebbinghaus, Sr., vacationed regularly at
state resorts on the Baltic coast and was alleged to have been a
guest of the GDR during the time he spent in the East. During the
post-war years, Ebbinghaus, Sr., became more or less the venerated
leader of what might be called the "liberal faction" among the
Marburg intellectuals. During the absences of the father in the
East, Dr. Julius EBBINGHAUS, the son, has carried on in the old
tradition in which he has been brought up.

Freiherr KLEINSCHMIT von LENGEFELD, Wilhelm, Dr. phil., 17.9.1949, Englische Philologie, (home address), Sybelstr. 8 (bei Grosser), Marburg/Lahn (as listed in the Personal-Verzeichnis). I don't remember too much about this one, but it seems to me that he was one of the more active of the younger set in the affairs of the "Verbindungen", and quite a strong nationalist, as one could well expect him to be from his name alone.

I have tried to give you, with the two above, one personality with a
red and one with a black orientation. If you would like some more prospects
to send extra copies to, should you ever have such, I'll list a couple more:

HAMANN-MacLEAN, Richard, Dr. phil., 7.5.1949, Kunstgeschichte, mit der Leitung des Forschungsinstituts fuer Kunstgeschichte beauftragt, (home address) Wilhelmstr. 19a, Marburg/Lahn (as listed in the Personal-Verzeichnis). This professor is the leading protege of Prof. Dr. Ebbinghaus, Sr., aside from the latter's son, and assumed the position in the univ. formerly occupied by Ebbinghaus, Sr., in the teaching of the "History of Art". He is carrying on in the best established tradition.

MUELLER, Franz Walter, Dr. phil., 1.4.1949, Romanische Philologie, (home address) Frankfurterstr. 31, Marburg/Lahn (as listed in the Personal-Verzeichnis). This professor is also a leading protege of Ebbinghaus, Sr., and a philosophical disciple and zealot. He is

also, incidently, the "gentleman" (a big question and much charity
on the use of that term as applied to him) who has become the "boy
friend" of Frau Kaethe Fuchs, the sister-in-law of Klaus Fuchs.
Kaethe is living with her parents in Marburg as her father is a
retired Philipps-Universitaet professor. Kaethe also has quite a
record of time spent in German jails and flights from Germany
because of her "underground" activities for the Commies during the
Nazi period. There are many little interesting sidelights con-
cerning this relationship too, but I don't think they're particular-
ly pertinent here.

The information concerning the personalities listed above is not of a
classified nature, as it is common knowledge around Marburg or to anyone hav-
ing very much to do with the university there. I suggest that you not advise
the persons concerned who was responsible for their receiving Confluence. You
know, they don't exactly like me or my kind. (What an understatement!) Since
I was in Marburg for some time, I am known there.

This may give you the impression that the Philipps-Universitaet is
pretty well infiltrated and controlled by the "red brothers", which is not true
at all. In fact, the faculty and the student body as a whole is so completely
reactionary that they have had practically no real success in developing any
support or activity, or even study groups, among the students there at all.
However, there are a certain number of "frustrated intellectuals" who have de-
veloped into real "red zealots", and if you can get any replies from any of
them, it should be interesting, though probably in some ways disgusting.

As for us here, we are well, except that Betty has developed a "heart
condition" which complicates her other condition somewhat. The doctors are con-
cerned, but not worried yet (even if we are). At this time, they anticipate no
critical complications. Otherwise we're doing surprisingly well and trying
hard to settle down after a month of holidays and moving. And believe me,
that's an awful combination to have to struggle through. I'm not so sure the
assignment was worth it, after all, though I'm still not complaining about it.
And despite all your accusations, suspicions, and nasty insinuations, I didn't
pull a single string to get it -- no, not even a little thread! I just live
right, that's all.

I hope that you enjoyed the holiday season, but with such temperance
that you've suffered no permanent after effects. Our best regards to both you
and Ann, and best wishes to you for success in your endeavors during the coming
year.

Dear Art:

This will have to be a short note for I am still struggling against
the backlog of letters that were waiting for my return to the office to
be answered. To add to the confusion, today is the printers' deadline for
the March issue. Now that I've given you almost the complete picture
of activities here at 10 Weld Hall, let me say how very pleased I was to
have your good letter and, of course, the substantial evidence of your
support of CONFLUENCE. I shall watch to see if we get any reactions from
Ebbinghaus and von Lengefeld to the first issue they receive and will let
you know.

I was extremely concerned to learn about Betty's trouble and hope that
by now you both have been further re-assured by the doctors. Pleasellet me
know how things are coming along.

Thanks again for your good letter and for your support. I trust my
previous letter wasn't too intimidating.

With best personal regards to you and to Betty,

Dear Otto:

It was good to hear from you. I know George Fisher, who taught here at Harvard until this year and who is now at Brandeis. He is not the most brilliant man at Harvard, but he has a good sound knowledge of his subject. I know that he has studied the resistance movement and particularly the Vlasov movement, and indeed he has written a book about it. He is a good solid speaker, again not overly exciting but not at all bad. I believe that he would serve your purposes quite well.

I am not sure, however, whether he would meet the requirements of the school. As you know, he lived in Russia until 1938 when he was given permission to leave through the personal intercession of Mrs. Roosevelt. While in Russia he was a member of the Young Communist League (Komsomol). I personally think that he is quite alright, but I have only talked to him once or twice and I may be wrong. What DOB. POB might mean, I don't know. Just to make me feel a little less stupid, you might tell me some time what you mean by that. If Sala is again with the Department, he would not stay overseas very long.
