\anrede{My dear Professor Carnap:}

\haupttext{My colleagues and I are delighted to learn of your acceptance of the invitation to attend the Tercentenary Celebration\II{\tercentenary}
here in the autumn of 1936. I am now writing to ask whether you would be willing to offer two courses\IC{} \IC{} in the Harvard\II{\harvard}
Summer School of 1936. The stipend would be \$\,1400, which would be designed to cover both instruction and a part of your
travelling expenses. If this proposal is, as I hope, agreeable to you I should like to discuss with you the matter of the
two courses which you would be expected to offer. There would be five meetings per week in each course, each meeting
lasting for about fifty minutes. One course would, I hope, be in the philosophy of science, or whatever you would
consider the proper designation of the field in which you are most interested. A second course could be offered in
ethics, history of philosophy, aesthetics, etc. It would be well to consider at the same time whether one of your two
courses could be of a relatively elementary nature. The period of the Summer School is from July\,6 to August\,15. We all
hope very much that you will accept this invitation and in this way extend the period of your visit to Harvard\II{\harvard}.

With sincere regards,}

\grussformel{Very truly yours,\\
Ralph Barton Perry
Chairman}
