Transcription: P1/10 (5) 18th April 1941 Yugo-Slavia has been conquered by the Germans in 10 days.  Terrific. Greece, on th eother hand, continues to resist, aided by come British Divisions. The "Journal de Genève" today puts the case: La Yougoslavie n'a pu, en quelques jours, passer utilement d'une politique de paix (qui empêchait tout emesure militaire préalable de crainte qu'elle ne fût considérée comme un "provocation") à une politique de  résistnce armée.  Le général Metaxas, lui, avait toujours prévu, sans dout, qu'il faudrait un jour en découdre, et c'est pourquoi l'armée hellénique état prête tandis que l'armée yougoslave ne l'était pas. The Y-S. & especially the Serbs are reputed to be the best soldiers in the Balkans. 10,000 said to be dead in Belgrade (after bombing) which had been devlared an open, undefended town. The British forces & freaks are in grave danger.  While Germans have swept back the covering troops left in Cyrenaica to the Egyptian frontier. Abyssinia nearly finished. Hellish bombing of London - replique in  Berlin.  Quelle jolie monde.

Transcription: P1/10 (40) SOCIETE DES NATIONS LEAGUE OF NATIONS Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, N.J. No. 78 October 30th, 1941. My dear Jack, I think I had better reply to your letter of the 8th, No. 41 both officially and unofficially and to your letter of the 10th, No. 42 unofficially. I will begin with the latter. 2- I was a little worried when I heard you had switched Lukac on to the work you mentioned in a recent letter - I am writing from the Labour Conference and have not all the correspondence with me - as I had had other work for him in mind which was not quite the same and it is rather difficult for me to organise my work if I do not know which members of my staff are going to be available. However, I did not mention it at the moment as I did not think it would really make much practical difference; but I see now, from your letter of the 8th, that you are putting Charron on to a certain work which I suppose will take all his time and prevent him doing anything for me. 3- As regards Lukac, it does not matter because he just cannot draft at all. You ask me, in the last paragraph of your No. 42, what I propose to do with his study. At this stage nothing. He did a first draft which was Hamlet without the ghost and I have now received the ghost. But the two did not make a whole and I shall have to have them completely reshaped. I say this with some regret as I have a very high opinion of Lukac. He is an excellent contact man, a good administrator, very keen on his work, completely loyal and, for the future, an absolutely indispensable servant, but it just so happens that he is not much good for the sort of work which arises to be done now. 4- My point in having these drafts prepared is to use them as and when occasion arises. Occasion is not likely to arise on this particular subject for a long time. There is no hurry; but one must be prepared to throw them in when the occasion does arise. I had one, for instance, fortunately, ready on the Relief question a copy of which I sent to the Wheat Conference which has now invited me to come and expound my views. This is the real object of such work. 5-Perhaps it does not matter about the other man also  .... You mention his eight-page study. This, so far as I am concerned, is his total output of work since July 1940. It seems to me wholly contemptible. The eight pages are themselves worthless and, as a result of over a year's work, or even work over the four or five months since I wrote to him, it is, I think, a scandalous performance. I had had it in mind, however, to write and ask him to make a first draft of certain sections of next year's edition of the Survey and was only waiting for the plan of the Survey to be completed before doing this. I suppose that this Sean Lester, Esq., Le Pelouse, Geneva, Switzerland.

Transcription: P1/10 (4) SOCIETÉ DES NATIONS LEAGUE OF NATIONS Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, N.J. October 30th, 1941. No. 79 My dear Jack, There is one question which you put to me some time ago which I have never answered as I did not think that you would take any notice of my answer if I gave it. I accordingly discussed the whole question with M.H. and asked him to write. I believe he did. 2 - But I think in view of subsequent letters from you that I should really warn you that you are, in my opinion, walking straight into a trap. I cannot say more than this excepting that I now realise what I did not know before, namely that I know the facts and you do not. I had imagined that you did. I have not the slightest shadow of doubt in my mind that, if you did, you would wholly share my views. Yours ever, A.L. Sean Lester, Esq., La Pelouse, Geneva, Switzerland

Transcription: item 2    links   Wie sehr habe ich der guten Frau, die so viel für unseren lieben Frauenverein getan hat, diese wert- vollen Augenblicke gegönnt. Dem Präsidenten der lutherischen Kirche in New York durch den ich die reiche Geldspende erhielt, habe ich einen großen Brief geschrieben. Ich schilderte die große Not unseres armen Vaterlandes u. bat ihn er möchte doch veranlassen, daß in den deutschen lutherischen Kirchen für das arme Deutschland gebetet würde; denn nur der liebe Gott allein könne uns noch helfen u. wir würden an die Kraft eines solchen Gebetes aufrichtig glauben. – Daß die schwedischen Bischöfe sich b in Amerika für uns verwendeten, hat bei uns große Dankbarkeit hervorgerufen. So Gott will zeigt sich uns auch wieder ein  rechts   Lichtblick, daß man etwas weniger traurig in die düstere Zukunft blicken kann. Große Freude durften wir durch die Gnade Euerer Königlichen so mancher schwergeprüften Frau bringen. Die reiche Spende wird viele Not lindern. Ueberall wurden mir warme Dankes- worte zur Uebermittlung an Euere Königliche Hoheit ausgesprochen. Wie schön ist es Anderen Hilfe bringen zu dürfen! Die Damen der Abt.V haben sich außerordentlich über die Grüße Euerer Königlichen Hoheit gefreut u. wünschen mit mir, daß sich die Atemnot, unter der Euere Königliche Hoheit zu leiden haben, bald verlieren möchte. Herr Geheimrat Müller besuchte mich am Sonntag u. betonte, wie ungemein wohltuend ihm die anerkennenden Worte Euerer Königlichen Hoheit gewesen wären, was ich mir zu
