Offers Sraffa the post of Associate Professor of Economics at the New School for Social Research.

Has decided to remain in England.

Understands Sraffa's decision to remain in England.

Agrees that Sraffa should remain in England: 'England is bearing the brunt of the war to preserve civilisation and it is a great honor to a man to be of service to England in any way.' Hopes he might at some time have the pleasure of meeting Sraffa in person.
