Exchange between Heath, May 29, 1957, and Donald W. Douglas, Douglas Aircraft Company, Santa Monica, California

June 12, 1957

 

 

Dear Mr. Douglas:                          May 29, 1957

 

Ever since the old days when we were all aviation pioneers, I have held you in mind as our most outstanding all-round personality, deeply interested in every field of human advance.

 

 That is why I take great pleasure in presenting to you with my compliments an advance copy of my Citadel, Market and Altar, which I trust will attract your attention and be found worthy of the inspiration under which it was written and the purposes toward which it is aimed.

 

 With highest compliments, I remain

 

Sincerely yours,

 

Spencer Heath
