The
University
Commission and
Education
Board welcome it if in this
way
your
valued efforts
can again
be channeled into
the
service of
the
university
and
give
their
consent to such
an arrangement.
We
request
that
you
let
us
know
whether
and,
if
yes,
under
what conditions
you
would be inclined
to
take
on an
assignment
toward this
end.
Repetition of
the
assignment
in
the
coming
summer
semester
will
be reserved for further
negotiation.[2]
So
as
to be able to make
the
necessary
arrangments
for
the
current
semester,
we
should be
particularly
obliged
to
you
for
a
prompt
reply.

Esteemed
Professor,
I
extend
to
you my
most
respectful
thanks
for
your
commitment
to
attend
the
meeting
on
the
19th of
this
mo.[1]
We
have decided to
refrain from
using your name on
the
invitation.[2] It
would
have been
particularly important to
us
to
have
the
invitation issued
by
a com-
mittee
that
did
not
consist
predominantly
in individuals
long
known
as
leading
members of
our organization.
Time
is
too
short
to
interest
twenty,
or
in
any
event
a
substantial
number,
of
new
prominent
members in such
a
committee.
We
shall
therefore
just
invite in
the
name
of
our
organization.
In
great
respect, devotedly,
Rosenbluth.[3]

Dear
Miza,
The
reasons
I
am
trying
to accelerate
the
divorce
are
purely superficial.
I’ll
explain
this
to
you
more
precisely
when
I
come
to
Zurich
again;
it would be
too
