Dear Bronio:

I was delighted to get your note
and to learn that you would actually be
coming, and so shortly. Unless I should be
inundated by a flood of patients 'which is
highly unlikely) I shall be at the boat to
greet you. I have been cogitating since
your letter came over my age, and wondering
whether it was sufficiently great to make it
dscreet for me to ask you to stop here. Un-
fortunatel y a psychiatrist is in much the
same situation as Canears wife (I mean,"above
reproach," not "all things to all men"). It is
also that you have not reached the hite-
bearded stage which would make it possible.
However, you will consider my place your home,
as a non-resident club. If there are any people
that you would particularly like me to get together
who are old friends of yours or whom you would like
to meet, I shall of course be very happy to have
them for cocktails, dinner, the evening, or anything
you like. Besides the official parties, I hope you
will be free to meet a few of my friends for a
gay, informal party or parties. Hortense will
be desolate if she does not see you. It may
just possibly be that she will be through her
work before you sail back, and be coming north,
although it is very doubtful.

With best greetings to you and Elsie,

a chance to look at it.

I see the Ashley-Montagues rather often when I go to N.Y. I
really like him.

Nothing specially scandalous has happened recently, but them
perhaps I don't recognize scandal when I see it now !

Thanks very much in advance for any recommendation you
might give. (You do not send one until requested. I am sending the
announcement so that you know what are the the requirements for the
post)

love and everything,

Dear Bronio,

This is to introduce Dr. David Mandlebaum, who will be in England for a few days before going on to India. He took his PH.D in anthropology at Yale last year and is the best student Yale has turned out. He is also a nice young man. He plans to study the Paliyan, a hill tribe of Travancore, and do some ethnological reconnaissance among other Dravidian speaking tribes of Southern India. He would like to have the opportunity of meeting and talking over his work with you. If you could also put him in touch with officialdom in India, that would be very useful. (He is being financed by a fellowship of the National Research Council and by Yale.) He will be from here on Dec. 2nd and will be in England only for about 4 days. I have suggested that he look you up as soon as he arrives.

Nothing new has happened since I last saw you in Cambridge. I am not sure whether I told you then, that the project I am working on here ends in June and I am looking for a new job. The whole future of the Institute is uncertain and for present, there are some politics here which I don't like and I happen to be on the losing side politically. Neverthe<sup>1</sup> less, I prefer that side! There isn't anything for me at the Graduate School, where Sapir is- as women don't teach<sup>1</sup> here. I'm aiming for a teaching post, as it gives much more security of tenure than any research project which always comes to an end.

I hope you are keeping well.
