July 12, 1962

 

 

Dear Mr. Heath:

 

It was a great privilege to receive your letter of May 25 and to learn of your understanding of the sonnet which was inspired through the reading of your book. Now that the courses are over at the Free Enterprise Institute, Mrs. Snow and I are devoting our time to the study of your book, Citadel, Market and Altar. The further we study it, the greater our appreciation of the tremendous work you have done and the great illumination which has lighted up this whole world problem.

 

It is my privilege to work as Secretary of National Town Meetings for Americanism, Inc. which is assisting communities throughout the United States to establish local Town Meetings for Americanism based on the plan developed during the last year in Glendale, California. The purpose of this group is to study Amer­icanism, and the basis of that is Freedom, and the basis of Freedom is a proper understanding of property, its definition and its protection.

 

On July 18 I will give a lecture to a unit of the Disabled Veterans. It will be my purpose to define four birthdays of Freedom, the Magna Charta, the Pilgrims’ Landing, the Declaration of Independence, and the new understanding of the social-ized property, as discovered and revealed in your book. It will be the theme that these four great crises are in reality but birthdays in the unfolding of Freedom.

 

It would be a great privilege to communicate with you personally; however, there is a definite feeling with me that every time your book is opened and studied, I am communing directly with you. The privilege of correspondence is also open to us. In any event, you can be sure that there will be a great deal of communication with you on the night of July 18, and I only hope that some of your vision can be communicated to these disabled veterans.

 

With the greatest respect, appreciation, and gratitude for your work and the contributions you have made and will make.

 

Sincerely yours,

 

/s/ C. E. Snow
