Letter from Major L.L.B. Angas, Saxtons River, Vermont

June 13, 1957

 

 

Dear Mr. Heath:

Thanks so much for your book. It fascinated me. Never have I seen such a neat combination of practical sense with the thinking, dare I say it, of an ideological mystic.

 The fact is, however, that I am insufficiently educated in your realm of thought to be able to read much more than two or three pages an hour. My own elevation is quite low in the ladder, being merely a mechanic as regards the competing economic systems. But you fly me right up in the intellectual (and ethical) air until I get giddy.

 But your work is fascinating. Indeed you could influence an era if only we the crowd were intelligent enough to absorb its brilliant, but nevertheless difficult, intellect­ualism.

 In other words, I have not done the book justice but I am so glad you sent it to me. I am too rushed with my own affairs to do any decent reading at all. I have to keep in touch with the markets of the world as well as other matters.

 The way you split the subject up is brilliant. Congratulations.

Yours cordially,

/s/ L.L.B. Angas, Pres. MAJOR L.L.B. ANGAS, Inc.

 I suppose your foundation wouldn’t be interested in publishing my own mechanical (garage work) writings on Capitalism … and particularly its much diseased sister-system of money.
