Dear “Eddie” Rickenbacker:

     Some men can dream, and some can do. Seldom can the same do both. But you are an outstanding example of one who can.

     You and I and a few others were in at the begin­ning of perhaps the greatest technological development of the modern age. You have carried on. I wandered away into newer and even wilder dreams of wonders yet to come. I want you, in moments of relaxation, to share this vision. So I am sending you a copy of my “engin­eers report” on the coming new developments in public administration that will redeem it from a political instrument merely of taxation and destruction into a mighty creator of endless wealth and welfare for man­kind.

     Please accept this copy of Citadel, Market and Altar as my admiring tribute to another mind that can dream and can also do.

Cordially,
