Dear Mr. Carto:

The enclosed may interest you in their different ways. You may keep them for your files. I am not dead although I have been swamped for two months. My wife nearly died of pneumonia between Election and Christmas, but is better now.

I have been trying to find out where Rassinier “professed, ” but without any precision. Hoggan will not answer anything.  P Professor and Mrs. Adams have been in Europe this last semester and are due back today. They saw Rassinier in Europe and I am relying on them to give me this information, which I shall send to you.

I also expect to have for you a translation of a good review article on Rassinier’s most recent book which appeared in Belgium.

Best wishes for 1965,
Cordially,
Harry Barnes
