Carnap an Neurath, Windermere/Florida, 29. November 1939 Rudolf Carnap an Otto Neurath, 29. November 1939 November 1939

Dear Neurath‚

I did not hear from you since you left the U.S.‚ but I was glad to learn from MorrisPMorris, Charles W., 1901–1979, am. Philosoph, verh. mit Trude Morris and NæssPNaess@Næss, Arne, 1912–2009, norweg. Philosoph that you came safely over and apparently are well. Especially during November we were worried about you. I wonder whether you moved in the meantimeamean time to Oslo. NæssPNaess@Næss, Arne, 1912–2009, norweg. Philosoph wrote that all prominent Norwegians had got cables from you, and so I hope you succeded in getting the visas to Norway.

We are now for 2 12 months in Florida, in a lonely countryside near a lake. What a peaceful life! But we think a lot of Europe.

TarskiPTarski, Alfred, 1901–1983, poln.-am. Mathematiker und Logiker has an invitation from the City College of NY. Do you have any news about his colleagues? And about HeinzPNeider, Heinrich, 1907–1990, öst. Verleger and others? ReachPReach, Karel, 1900–1944, tschech. Philosoph?

It is very hard in thesebthis times to get news about friends and other people we know. You are at the centre of the movement and know about everybody, or at least could get information in the easiest way. Could you not edit a mimeographed bulletin giv­ing personal news about a few dozens or 100 people known to most of us in our movement? Reporting changes of address, invitations, lectures, publications, personal events. Please think it over, I think it would be very desirable, and you are the only one who can do it.

I saw in the Journal of Symbolic Logic an ad of our Journal in German! Please ask Stockum to make it in English! All readers will think that the Journal will chiefly be in German and some might not order it just for that reason.

From both of us cordial greetings to you and MiezePNeurath, Marie, 1898–1986, geb. Reidemeister, auch Reidemeisterin, Mieze, MR, Mary, dt.-brit. Pädagogin und Sozialwiss., Schwester von Kurt Reidemeister, heiratete 1941 Otto Neurath, and our best wishes for the New Year, which begins in the dark, and who knows how it will end,

yours‚
Carnap
