February 11, 1953 Monsieur le professeur Louis Boudin 10 Place President - Mithouard Paris (7), France Dear Colleague and Friend: Confidentially I want to inform you that Queens College (owned and operated by the City of New York) plans to invite you to deliver (in the English-language) the lecture on Inca Socialism you wrote me about. If this project materializes, they will probably ask you to send them some data about your person, publications, your position etc. and a short outline of your lectutes Likewise the Foundation for Economic Education in Irvington=on-ludson plans to invite you for a less formal lecture (also in English) either on French or European economic conditions or on the ideological situation in France or on the idebdogies of the various French political parties, factions and pressure groups. You.may choose the subject you prefer. The Foundation assumes that you will be in New York either in the week starting March 23 or that starting March 30. The days they have in mind are March 24 or 25 or 31 or April 1 or 3. I believe the April dates mentioned will also suit Queens College. At any rate, please write me immediately the precise dates of your visit to New York. With all good wishes, Cordially, LVM/rc
