Item 2469

Carbon of letter of October 24, 1956, to Mr. and Mrs. Ludwig von Mises, 777 West End Avenue, New York City, followed by Mises’ penned response of October 30, 1956

 

 

Dear Friends,                         October 24, 1956

 

I have been away from New York all summer and, in fact, most of the time since I had the pleasure of seeing both or either of you. It was kind of you to attend the little affair at the Matchette Foundation in compliment to me, and I was happy to be present at the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Dr. Mises’ doctorate and his long service in the cause of freedom.

 

 I am spending more time now at my home here in Maryland than for some time past, but will be in New York in a day or so, to remain until the fifteenth of November at my old address there, 11 Waverly Place.

 

 Perhaps I will be seeing you at the Alliance Meeting on Next Tuesday, the 30^th. I surely want to hear Dean Manion speak, and shall be very happy to see you if you attend, and the more so if I may have you as my guests at the coffee hour following the meeting.

 

 With all best wishes,

Cordially,

 

SH/m

Dear Mr. Heath:                        October 30, 1956

 

I am sorry I had a previous engagement /which/ prevents me from attending the Alliance meeting and thus deprives me of the pleasure of joining you.

 

 It was good to hear from you again.

 

 With all good wishes,

                            Cordially,

 

                            /s/  L. Mises
