January 12, 1955 Monsieur le professeur Louis Baudin 10, Place du President Mithouard Paris VIIe, France Dear Friend: I was shocked to learn from the letter you wrote to my wife that you have not yet fully recovered. I do hope that in the meantime your state of health has greatly improved and that you are again continuing your brilliant work as an author and a teacher. I myself am now fairly well. Of course, the doctors advise me to take things easy and not to overwork myself. I would have written you sooner. But I wanted to wait until all bureaucratic problems that delay the publication of your Inca book will have been solved. Next week the manager of the Volker Fund will visit New York and I think that on that occasion also this issue will finally be decided. With all good wishes for a Happy New Year. Cordially yours, Dear Professor Baudin: Thanks for your kind letter. I am confident that my husband and I will next year be able to attend the Mont Pelerin conference and will meet you on this occasion as well as in Paris. With best wishes for a speedy recovery and for a Happy New Year 1955. Sincerely yours,
