\brief{Rudolf Carnap an Charles Morris, 13. März 1935}{März 1935}

%March 13, 1935.

\anrede{Dear Morris,}

\haupttext{Many thanks for your kind letter of December\,3rd, written in Paris in the moment of leaving Europe. I suppose you are
now again in your ordinary life and working, and I hope, you are satisfied with it. Perhaps in the meantime you have
organized the projected group of faculty members interested in the philosophy of science.

My best thanks for your kind sending of the volume of Mead's\IN{\mead} papers\IW{}. I am especially interested in those which deal with
language and symbols. The publisher sent a review copy for ``Erkenntnis''\II{\erkenntnis}. I shall look for a good reviewer.

Some days ago I got a letter from the Harvard University\II{\harvard} of which I am enclosing a copy. I am very glad about this
first invitation from America and I hope that this invitation and the announced Honorary Doctorate will facilitate
further steps.

Simultaneously I got a negative answer from the Institute of International Education\II{\iie} at New York which I had asked for
organizing a lecture-tour. They write that there is very little chance for lectures in philosophy. And that therefore
they are unable to organize such a tour as long as the economical situation of colleges and other institutions in USA has
not improved essentially. Now I am dropping the plan of a lecture-tour in October 1935 but in some weeks I shall write
again to the Institute in New York\II{\iie}, reporting about the Harvard\II{\harvard} invitation and asking whether they consider it possible
and suitable to organize a lecture-tour which would begin in January or March 1936 and thus would be in connection with
my visit at Harvard\II{\harvard}. But before writing to New York again, I shall wait for your answer and suggestions.

Best regards to Mrs. Morris\IN{\morrisfrau} and Sally\IN{\morrisenskind}, also from Ina\IN{\ina}. She is just now a poor invalid, because she has broken the thumb
of her right hand. But besides that we are well and happy.}

Very sincerely 

\grussformel{yours,\\
R. Carnap}
