Dear colleagues, 
 
Albert Jolink has suggested that I may have something to offer concerning 
the recent query on one John Williams.  If I recall correctly, however, 
the original query referred to a Williams who, amongst other things, had 
studied at Harvard.  The John Williams on whom I have done some work - 
mathematical statistician with the Applied Mathematics Panel during WWII 
and then head of mathematical research at the RAND Corporation from its 
inception till the early 1960's - was trained at Arizona and then 
Princeton.  It is unlikely that this is the person referred to on this 
list.  Should I be mistaken, however, I would be happy to provide further 
information. 
 
        Sincerely, 
                  Robert Leonard
