Dear Ho,
Thank you very much for your letter of April 2. It was a great pleasure to have it and to be reminded of our contact last autumn. I really can't say that I remember Haverford as a sleepy place ! I was impressed by the many international contacts many of you had and the active part in international relief and research taken by them. Recently we saw the Teafs rather frequently and in a few days they will leave us. Howard Teaf was a very active member of our faculty and gave us very useful suggestions for our institute which is still in its infancy, and he will no doubt have to tell you of many shortcomings in our organization and in our contacts with the students. In Rotterdam we had also a visiting Professor, Lowell Harriss from Columbia, who was also highly appreciated by our students and our colleagues.
I had a chance about a month ago to meet one of the economic advisers of the President, Mr Jacoby, who informed us in Paris about the policies so far followed to counteract the depression and prospects as he saw them. I must say that we feel somewhat reassured; of course we are still eagerly following further developments.
All of us are feeling well and I am uncertain about our future plans since we do not hear from India. But there will be a visit of Prof. Mahalanobis within a few weeks and that may clarify matters.
With kindest regards for all of you and from all of us,
[unclear]

to be reminded of our contact last autumn, I really
can't say that I remember Haverford as a sleepy
place I I was impressed by the many international
contacts many of you had and the active part in
international relief and research taken by them.
Recently we saw the Teafs rather frequently and in
a few days they will leave us. Howard Teaf was a
very active member of our factilty and gave us very
useful suggestions for our institute which is still
in its infancy, and he will no doubt have to tell
you of many shortcomings in ovtr organisation and in
our contacts with the students. In Rotterdam we had
also a visiting Professor, Lowell Harriss frcM
Coltambia, who was also highly appi^eciated by our
students and our colleagues,
I had a chsnce about a month ago to meet one
of the economic advisers of the President, IJr Jacoby,
who informed us in Paris about the policies so far
followed to counteract the depression and prospects
as he saw them, I must say that v/e feel soraev^hat
reassured! of course we are still eagerly follov/ing
further developments.
All of us are feeling well and I am uncertain
about our future plans since we do not hear frc»n

With kindest regards for all of you and from
