10. McGuinness, 152f. The second paragraph reads: “So: First of all I would like to thank you for the books and your kind letter. Since I am very busy and my brain is entirely unable to absorb anything academic, I have read only one of the books (“The economic consequences [of the peace]”). I found it very interesting, even though of course I know practically nothing about the subject. You write to ask if you could do anything to help me return to academic work: no, nothing can be done in this regard; because I myself no longer have a strong inner drive to engage in such an occupation. Everything I really have to say I have said and the spring has consequently dried up. That sounds strange, but it is so. I would like, I would very much like to see you again; and I know that you would be so kind as to find me money for a stay in England. But when I think that I am now really to exploit your kindness, I have all kinds of concerns: What would I do in England? Should I just come to see you and distract myself in all kinds of ways? I mean to say shall I just come to be nice? Now I don’t think at all that it isn’t worth while being nice—if only I could be REALLY nice—or having a nice time—if it were a VERY nice time indeed.”
