Dear Professor,
Thank you for your letter. I am glad to know you are enjoying the spring. With us it has been a cold one and the last two days have been the first when it was pleasantly warm to be out of doors. May is one of the many months in which the Vienna climate is preferable to the London one.
Although of course it is for the Congress to decide, I am very glad of the opportunity to discuss with you the suitable composition of the future committee.1 think, in spite of the distance, we must have an American representative and that no one other than Brill could be considered. I notice you do not mention Sarasin. I do not know him very well personally, but Eitingon seems to think very well of him and has recently suggested that he act as Treasurer for the foreign money until it is needed in Vienna. I understand your feelings about Ophuijsen, although I get on very well with him personally. The bad habit you mention amuses me and is, I am sure, not dictated by any malice. After all, his endeavour to introduce some order into the laxity of our affairs is not altogether disadvantageous. In Paris either Laforgue or the Princess would obviously be suitable. It might be advantageous to have Eitingon from the point of view of continuity
