October 6, 1964 Mr. Frederick Nymeyer 366 South 166th Street South Holland, Illinois Dear Mr. Nymeyer: Immediately after my return to New York I sent to Professor Klaasen the permission he had required. Concerning the Etas-Kompass: There is from my point of view no reason not to give them the three months option they re- quire. But it would be unwise to give them the Italian rights without obliging them to publish the Italian edition within a reasonable time. I would therefore suggest that in case they require before the end of the option period a contract granting them the Italian rights, to add to the agreement the following clause: "This authorization to publish an Italian-language edition of the book 'Planning for Freedom' is granted under the condition that the Italian edition will be ready and available for sale in book-stores not later than January 1st, 1966. Should this not be the case, the publisher and the author are free to make any use of the Italian rights they want." I am enclosing the letter of Etas-Kompass of July 1st and the annex. Yours very truly, Etas-Kompass Via Mantegna 6 , Milano Letter: 1 Luglio 1964 signed: N. Damascelli
