Dear Paul (Details anzeigen)^b:

I hope you don't mind my bothering you with this letter but I wanted you to know that I fully understand that you may consider its content with divided feelings. You may think that the action as a whole may not have great practical effect and, secondly, that it may endanger the people who are on the list. We have discussed these questions many times in our committee meetings, not only within the smaller committee itself but also with scholars from abroad on whose judgment we lay value. They all agree that the step proposed in this letter is necessary and it is now almost impossible to add more caution to the procedure than has been provided. So please devote an hour to this letter and give me your reaction as soon as possible. This letter has been sent to Professor Löwe (Details anzeigen)^c, Professor Kroner (Details anzeigen)^d, Professor Salomon (Details anzeigen)^e,Professor Heimann (Details anzeigen)^f, and Mr. Kurt Wolff (Details anzeigen)^g.
