To the very learned Mr. Prof. H. Dooyeweerd

For the Curators of the Free University, the question remains whether reformed principles in general, and the Three Formulas of Unity of the Gereformeerde Churches of the Netherlands, teach in particular the dichotomy. This question is particularly to be seen in connection with the views that you have presently proposed in Gereformeerde circles concerning the [nature of] man.

In order to form an opinion concerning this point, the Curators would appreciate being advised by a commission, under the direction of their President Mr. S. de Vries. In addition to you, we have invited Professors Woltjer, Grosheide, Aalders, Waterink and Rutgers.

The Curators request that you may be of service and look forward to receiving at an early date your favourable response.

Mr. De Vries proposes to call together the members of the commission at the beginning of the next course.

The said Curators,
De Vries, Chairman
[illegible], Secretary
