My dear Palvia,
Thank you very much for your letter of November 26 as well as for the previous one from London. My reply was terribly delayed because the crowded program I had in the United States, and I have to excuse myself very much for this delay. Let me first say how glad I am that you are safely back in your residence and how much I hope that you found your family well. Also let me extend my best wishes as well as those of my wife for your family and yourself in the New Year. I also have to thank you for sending me your paper on capital movements which I could not yet completely read, but I hope to do so in due time.
One of these days I shall discuss the question whether more copies of your dissertation can be printed and I will let you know the result of the discussion.
You asked my advice on working with ECAFE. I think my advice would depend on the type of work and the position offered. Since your experience with econometrics is still a rather young one, it would be appropriate if you would not have the full responsibility for the econometric side of the work yourself alone, but could in cases of doubt submit it to a colleague or a chief. If there is a chance to work in such a team I think it would certainly be interesting and important. The other aspects of the work you will be able to judge yourself better than I can at this distance. Anyhow, you should never hesitate to ask my advice if you want to have one on some specific problem you are involved in. I certainly would be glad to give you my personal comments on any "new model" you would have to make in your work.
With best personal regards, also to Mrs Palvia,
yours very sincerely,
