To Paul Arthur Schilpp
Hotel Danieli,
Venice. May 9, 1940
Dear Professor Schilpp
This is merely to report that I have now received Friess & Rosenthal’s essay, or rather dialogue. I am astonished to see how thoroughly these critics have read and pondered my rather casual effusions. It is only recently that such consideration is shown to me; formerly I was disregarded, and got quite used to it.
