To his businessman, about his various investments. He has been told that the pound could rise again and that "it would be wiser to buy now not only sulfate, but also sulfur, wire and barrels". He encourages him to make these purchases this month, if he thinks it's reasonable: "I don't mind paying a large sum at once, if it's in my interest"...
Attached is a press photograph of a UNESCO meeting (1946).
