Dear Friend,
I cannot suppress a Hurrah. So we have got rid of them then! We shall print their manifesto of indignation in the next issue of the Kor-respondenzblatt, in which you, hopefully as definite president, will make a statement on the matter.1
I enclose two letters, a statement by Putnam2 and also a letter from Maeder,3 which remains unanswered, like the one to you. The will be glad to get rid, in addition to Maeder, also of Riklin, Seif, and the rest.4 My bombshell has worked well, then. But it is good that your circular letter has already arrived. So once again we shall have a good Congress.
In the matter August/September you are surely right, but one of the warring sides may be wrongly identified. The fear of being disturbed is not in opposition to the fear of hurting you, but to the tendency to chat with you instead of doing the hard work. Well, come whenever you like. I have to see how to fit it in with work. I don't even know whether I shall have any desire for work. Saying no to you was also made more difficult
