Dear Dr. Nagel‚

CarnapP Carnap, Rudolf, 1891-1970, dt.-am. Philosoph, 1917-1929 verh. mit Elisabeth Carnap und ab 1933 mit Ina Carnap is very busy with some preparations for the Paris-CongressI KongressfuerEinheit@1. Kongreß für Einheit der Wissenschaft/Congrès International de Philosophie Scientifique, Paris, 16.-21.IX.1935, so you get only a few lines from me. Many thanks for your letter of June 3 and your card of June 21. In the meantime we have been in Vienna and now we are here in Pistyan which is a famous rheuma-spa. It was my idea of coming here with the intention of polishing up Carnap’sP Carnap, Rudolf, 1891-1970, dt.-am. Philosoph, 1917-1929 verh. mit Elisabeth Carnap und ab 1933 mit Ina Carnap health for America. Perhaps you remember that he had some pains in his shoulders.

Best thanks also for the fine letter you have prepared as to be Carnap’sP Carnap, Rudolf, 1891-1970, dt.-am. Philosoph, 1917-1929 verh. mit Elisabeth Carnap und ab 1933 mit Ina Carnap answer to the HarvardI Harvard University, Cambridge MA-invitation and also for your suggestions about the courses. What a pity that you leave for America and my prophecy that we won’t see you again in Europe has been so true. I should prefer to be a bad prophet but to see you again before you leave. It would have been fine to discuss with you the content of the courses, but as this is not possible, your suggestions are very valuable. What a pity that we cannot spend this August together in the Alpes! FeiglP Feigl, Herbert, 1902–1988, öst.-am. Philosoph, seit 1931 verh. mit Maria Feigl is coming also (takes part in the first days of the Congress at ParisI KongressfuerEinheit@1. Kongreß für Einheit der Wissenschaft/Congrès International de Philosophie Scientifique, Paris, 16.-21.IX.1935) and then returns to Iowa), WoodgersP Woodger, Joseph Henry, 1894–1981, Sok[c]rates genannt, brit. Biologe und Philosoph, verh. mit Eden Woodger P Woodger, Eden, verh. mit Joseph Henry Woodger are coming (I expect that you have made their acquaintance in the meantime – how did you like them?), and only NagelP Nagel, Ernest, 1901–1985, am. Philosoph, verh. mit Edith Nagel and his LadyP Nagel, Edith, geb. Haggstrom, verh. mit Ernest Nagel won’t come!

CarnapP Carnap, Rudolf, 1891-1970, dt.-am. Philosoph, 1917-1929 verh. mit Elisabeth Carnap und ab 1933 mit Ina Carnap will be delighted to answer all your questions. Did you not notice in Prague that there is no greater pleasure for him in the world than to answer questions on scientific field?

We are very glad that you will be so kind as to revise the English version of the “Syntax”B 1937@The Logical Syntax of Language, London, 1937. So far, CarnapP Carnap, Rudolf, 1891-1970, dt.-am. Philosoph, 1917-1929 verh. mit Elisabeth Carnap und ab 1933 mit Ina Carnap has seen about 60% of the translation. About money I will write you, when the question is finally settled with OgdenP Ogden, Charles Kay, 1889–1957, brit. Linguist und Philosoph. If I can get him to pay anything for the work – I am sure you will have use for it. Very sorry, that you could not get the translation – so far it is done – when you are in England. But with OgdenP Ogden, Charles Kay, 1889–1957, brit. Linguist und Philosoph and the unhappy translator any complication has to be avoided.

Where are the announced snap-shots of you and your ladyP Nagel, Edith, geb. Haggstrom, verh. mit Ernest Nagel? I am very keen for the results!

With the warmest regards to you both from the both of us‚

Yours‚
ksl.

With cordial greetings, ksl.a Hsl.
