JohnsonsJohnson EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. 08903 October 7, 1970 Dr. Ludwig von Mises 777 West End Avenue New York, New York Dear Dr. von Mises: Instead of sending directly to you a set of the papers presented at the meeting of the Mont Pelerin Society in Munich this past September, Dr. Orth of the Siemens Company, who handled all of the arrangements, sent the papers to me instead. I am, therefore, forwarding them to you with this note. As I wrote Margit from Munich, we had a very good meeting, marred principally by your absence and that of your lovely wife. To us, who are relatively new in the Society, a meeting is not quite a real one unless you both are there. As you already know, Milton Friedman was elected President this year, and somehow I am under the impression that this is the first time an American has ever received this honor. Moreover, you also know, I am sure, that there will be no meeting next year, but there will be great plans for a celebration of the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Society by having a meeting in Switzerland sometime during 1972. Please know that both Elsa and I send our warmest good wishes to you both, and that I am, Sir, Cordially yours, W. J. Holman, Jr. avc Enclosure
