Dear Mr Kennedy,
After my provisional reply
of December 1,1953 to your letter SR3/53 of
November 25, 1953 I am now able to a'ive my
final answer. This has been influenced by
two factors mainly, the first being that my
wife who has always been susceptible to malaria
could not live in Jakarta, the second, that
meanwhile I got further news from Prof, Mahalanobis in whiph he told me that possibly
the Indian Goverrnment would offer me a contract.
With this state of affairs I have chosen for
the latter country which, you remember, was
the first to invite me. Since the request
by the Indonesian Govemraent was also known
to the Dutch Governaent I ineanv/hile informed
my colleagues in the Tecimical Assistance
Division of ray decision.
Yours very sincerely.
