698R. Wilhelmine Cresswell to Harrod,
13 September 1937
[a]
"I am so glad
Geneva was such a success, I hope that now you are pleased to be an
economist, [1] and
frightfully proud of being such a good one".
- 1. In the
early years of his career Harrod frequently expressed his
dissatisfaction as to the choice of his subject (see for instance
letter 80 R and the
passages from an autobiographical statement written late in Summer
1928 cited in note 1 to
letter 135 and note
1 to letter
157 R); Billa's remark indicates that at this point Harrod was
still regretting not to have chosen a political or philosophical
career.
