Dear Dr. John,

Thank you very much for having taken the time to write and to send the excerpt from [the March–April 1993 Journal of Robert John’s review of Issah Nakleh’s Encyclopedia of the Palestine Problem. I am glad to have it, and I anticipate that it will prove to be of use.

Sincerely,

[signed]

September 15, 1986

Dear Mr. John,

Many thanks for your kind wishes on the occasion of my election to the Presidency of the Republic of Austria. I was deeply touched by your thoughtful gesture.

I have read with great interest your article [in the Winter 1985–86 Journal] on the Balfour Declaration and other historical aspects. I return you herewith The Journal of Historical Review.

One of the first important steps to overcome the horrible consequences of a tragedy, as was World War II, was to build up an atmosphere of understanding of mutual esteem between Europeans and Americans. That is why I appreciated so much your letter.

With warmest regards and best wishes.

Yours sincerely,

[signed]
Kurt Waldheim
