Item 33.2 - A.L.s., from Amsterdam

Has received LJM's offprints and is pleased that the relations between Holland and Britain 'reestablish themselves'. Notes the shortage of paper, and the conditions during the war, has meant that not many mathematical papers have been published but thinks there may be a stream of papers published now. Has come through the war safe and sound, though he had been imprisoned in February for hiding people from the Germans. Is now lecturing in Brussels. Has been offered a job at Utrecht but would prefer to go to America. Has been appointed President of a Committee for the reorganization of University studies in mathematics and believes that these should be reorganized along British and American lines. Would be very grateful if he could discuss this with LJM and suggests a meeting in England.
