Henry Blumenthal 2319 Ashby Ave. Berkeley 5, Cal. August 5,1949 Dear Dr. von Mises, I understand that during your recent stay in Switzerland Dr.Unger has been kind enough to talk to you about me. The enclosed personal history sheet will give you an idea of my very broad background.I might add that my interests lie as much in research as in teaching. I should be delighted to answer any specific questions you might wish to have clarified.If you should wish to contact some of my teachers, Professors L.A.Harper and U.D.Hicks, both of the University of California at Berkeley,would be best qualified to tell you about me.Dr. Sontag has been on leave for the last three years, but he knows me well enough to judge my qualifications. I should be much obliged for your kind assistance in securing a proper position for me. Sincerely yours, Henry Blennenthal
