Dear Mrs. Hobson:

Thank you for sending Dr. Oppenheimer's picture for use
in the publicity here at Hanover.

Please tell Dr. Oppenheimer that his title "Freedom and Necessity
in the Sciences" sounds excellent. I am looking forward to hear-
ing it.

I shall be at the Lebanon Airport at 6:40 p.m. on Wednesday, the
4th of March to meet Dr. Oppenheimer. I hope the weather is
clear and that he has a pleasant trip.

Sincerely,
Robert E. Huke
Chairman
