York University SCHOOL OF COMMERCE, ACCOUNTS, AND FINANCE WASHINGTON SQUARE, NEW YORK September 26, 1950 Professor Ludwig von Mises 777 West End Avenue New York 25, N. Y. Dear Professor von Mises: Your letter addressed to me at the American Express Company, Paris, has just been returned to me here, and I find the very courteous letters of introduction which you made for me. I am afraid that I shall now have to postpone their delivery until next year. I think I told you when I saw you at the Graduate School the other evening that I had met the Rector of the University of Vienna and had had a very pleasant conference with him. Apparently, the University of Vienna is prepared to do practically anything to facili- tate the study of American students at Vienna. With the cost of living as low as it is, they ought to attract a large number of American students. You may be interested to know that we are trying to get an Austrian couple to come to the United States and live with us on the farm. I had hoped before this that we would be able to have you and your wife as our guests there, but without servants it is a pretty difficult if not impossible undertaking. I will probably see you soon at the School and will elaborate on this matter. With very best regards, and looking forward to seeing you soon, I am Very truly yours, E. E. Pratt Professor of Foreign Trade Room 629, School of Commerce P. V
