Curtiss Foundation for Economic Education Irvington - on - Hudson, New York Dear Doctor Curtiss: I should like to get detailed information on your College=Business Exchange Program. Is there no fellow- ship available for a European professor ? As a reference I could State Mrs. Rose Wilder Lane, R 4 Box 74 , Danbury, Connecticut, and eventual- ly Professor Ludwig von Mises ( I shall ask him first - I write you immediately, as I had only this morning the Foundation's Information on Fellowship ). I should like very much to be admitted, but there is the question of the European professor and the travel costs from here to the States. My Summer vacation: 15th July to 15th Sept. It takes, by ship, 6 to 7 days from here ( via Le Havre, France) to New York. I could eventually arrange to have some days more. I have a preference for Finance; manufactu- ring or distribution. Besides my special knowledge as regards business ( accountancy, commercial correspondence, commercial arithmetic, mathematics of finance) and economics, I speak fluent ly English, French and German, and some Dutch and Italian. I am 30 years old. I shall let you have all further informations you may require should there be a fellowship available for me. Hoping that you will be able to consider favorably my request, I beg to thank you in anticipation and remain, Yours sincerely,
