Mr. Fr. J. Forell

Dear Mr. Forell:

Thank you for your letter1 of November 7th. concerning Mr. Rudolph M. Morris.

I have known Mr. R. Morris since 1926 when I was Professor at the Philosophical Faculty of the Technical Academy in Dresden (Germany) In these years he was wrestling with the problem of his remaining a successful businessman or going the hard road of scholarly life. He decided for the latter, went as an exiled to Southern France and continued in this direction. At the same time he was so impressed by the recent movement in French Catholicism that he converted to Catholicism and became aquainted with many leading Catholics. I always was in touch with him and tried to help while he was in France as much as I could which was of course very little.

Mr. Morris has proved that he takes the religious and philosophical problems very seriously. His writings show that he is able to deal with them productively and with a great amount of intellectual education and precise thinking.

His wife whom I know as long as himself is a very clever and energetic personality, able to give psychological guidance to people.

Very sincerely yours

Prof. Paul Tillich
