ABSTRACT
My dear Director, Ladies and Gentlemen, In 1944 I was travelling with my wife in a bitterly cold bus,
returning from a skiing holiday on Mount Cook. The bus stopped in the middle of nowhere, at a snowed-in rural New Zealand post office. To my surprise, I heard my name called, and someone handed me a telegram - the telegram that changed our lives. It was signed F.A. Hayek, and it offered me a Readership at the London School of Economics. The appointment followed in 1945, and in 1949 I was given the title of Professor of Logic and Scientific Method.
