"The letter written on your behalf [record 121595] to my wife is astonishing by its incivility. I fail to see why what you wished to convey could not have been said orally without formality and completely unnecessary rudeness. I had not before understood that my wife was not allowed at my lectures; I do not now understand why I was not informed of this. I regret that by asking her to be present I infringed, ignorantly or by oversight, the rules of the Foundation."
