ALS to Lyn Newman

Sends news from Princeton. Reports that she has seen Johnny von Neumann and his bride who is a contrast to Mariette. Mentions that Oswald is one of Hermann Weyl's sponsors for American citizanship and that the other Weyls are also applying. Complains that too many British people are in favour of Hitler, saying that Mrs Hadenburg gave her an account of the situation in Germany. Asks after Professor Hardy.

Veblen, Elizabeth (fl 1939)

A.L.s., from Oswald Veblen, Brooklin, Maine, USA

Has 'tried to find something ... for Erdos, but without success'. Hopes that LJM keeps him in mind as he is keen to return to England. Is working on getting the new Mathematical Review under way and hopes to get the sponsorship of the LMS and the Royal Society. Hopes that LJM will spend some time in Princeton.

TLS from Oswald Veblen, from Princeton

Will do anything to help MHAN get an appointment at Princeton University. Is sorry to say that he will not be there at the time that MHAN will be, but notes that [Hermann] Weyl will be.
