Calcutta 35
Dear Dr Mahalanobis,
In reply to your letter of April 21 and after having consulted the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Economic Affairs I am able to let you know that in principle I shall be glad to consider any more definite proposal you would care to make to me about a possible stay of some 9 months in India starting, say, in October or November 1954. Indeed it will be a real pleasure for me to cooperate in some way in research bearing upon the economic development of your country and my previous contacts in particular with your institute and with the Central Planning Commission have shown me what important work is in this respect going on. My wife will certainly be glad to join me as you suggest.
Looking forward to hear from you and thanking you for your initiative,
I am,
yours very sincerely,

21 April, 1953
Dear Dr. Tinbergen,
I thank Mrs. Tinbergen and you for your kind hospitality and the stimulating and instructive discussions I had with you at the Hague on April 17th and 18th.
I am eager that you should come to India for a period of about a year so as to help us in econometric studies on national income and related statistics with special reference to investment and economic planning. It may be possible to arrange such a visit on an assignment sponsored by the United Nations Technical Assistance Administration or directly by India on such terms as would be acceptable to you. As regards the geographical or institutional location, the details can also be settled in due course to suit your convenience. At this stage, I am making a general enquiry on my own initiative to know your own views in the matter, and also, I hope, to have some idea about possible dates. In case some working arrangements can be provisionally settled by informal discussions at the personal level, I am confident it would be possible to initiate appropriate action at the official level.
May I add that it is our earnest hope and desire that it will be possible for Mrs. Tinbergen to come with you to India?
With kindest regards for Mrs. Tinbergen and you,
Yours sincerely,
(P.C. Mahalanobis)
Dr J. Tinbergen, Ph. D.
The Hague,
Netherlands.
