Carbon of letter from Heath to E. Merrill Root

November 14, 1955

 

 

 

Dear Mr. Root:

 

Worlds of appreciation for your kind letter of October 29^th. I feel sure I hardly need tell you how much it means to me. I am intensely occupied with preparation of a book-length manuscript — a research engineer’s report on what he found by some years’ investigation of the functioning of human life in non-political society. So, more later on.

 

 I am happy to send you twenty-four copies of my “Inspiration of Beauty” and two or three copies of the Lord’s Prayer in monosyllables. I am having a better edition of these printed and will be glad to send you practically any number you may desire. Also as many more of the “Inspiration of Beauty” as you think you could make good use of if you let me know. There is no charge for any of this.

 

 What have you written about Frank Harris? As I remember his autobiography, he took much pride in being the scoundrel that he was — or is that another Frank Harris?

 

Sincerely,

 

 

SH/m
