Item 1711

Carbon of a letter from Heath to John Mowbray, The Roland Park Company, Roland Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland.

January 12, 1962

 

 

Dear Mr. Mowbray:

 

     Even so late, I think I cannot better start the new year than by dropping you a line of appreciation for the fine visit my grandson and I had at your office a month or so ago and to apologize for not getting word to you of our inability to be at Elkridge when you made a visit to my property there, knowing your long-time theoretical and practical interest in the development of Proprietary

Administration of assembled real estate for income and profit, the same as other kinds of capital properties are assembled and productively administered, we were especially please to discuss this matter with you from the standpoint of its universal principle as developed in my Citadel, Market and Altar, a copy of which I was happy to present to you with my compliments inscribed.

 

In this connection I am enclosing for you a photostat of our good friend Max Wehrly’s review of this book as it appeared in the official publication of the Urban Land Institute for October, 1957.

 

     Is there not in the fast “burgeoning” proprietary communities the promise of a creative alternative to the present-day political process — a new age of man, as yet except in Holy writ, unheralded and unsung?

 

                        Cordially yours,
