Dear Professor Kirchheimer:
Just a brief note to say that I have decided to accept the
Columbia appointment and that I am deeply appreciative for all
your efforts on my behalf. Your support during this period is
@ great honor and I wish to thank you very much.
If my wife and I manage to get to Washington this summer we
will certainly accept your invitation and call on you. My best
regards and best wishes for a pleasant and fruitful leave this
semester. I look forward to seeing you very soon.

I took the enormous liberty of mentioning your name in a
letter to Irving Howe, I wrote him about reviewing a collection
of essays by Boris Nicolaevsky on@Surges which =
out »y. Imet Mr, Howe about ea month ago at
discussed the volume I just completed hn Robert Tucker on the
1938 Moscow Trial({ Dissent is publishing Tucker’s introduction }
and my work on Bukharir Sensing a possibility, I thus wrote
him about reviewing the Nicolaevsky book for Dissent; out I felt
thet perhaps my credentials were not quite in order wand so I sug-
gested that he might contact you( as a contributor } so as to
ac least confirm that I did indeed put in graduate years et Colunbie.
It is of course guite possibl will not show any interest
at all, I hope that I have % taken undue berty by mentioning
you @S & possible reference matter.
I leave for London thursday. You are very much responsible
for making this trip possible as it is being done on the Cutting
Traveling Fellowship for which you nominated me, So again, let
me close with sincere thanks.
Sincerely,
