Letter from Edwin G. Nourse, 1785 Massachusetts Avenue, Washington 6, D.C.
June 22, 1957
Dear Mr. Heath:
I wish to thank you heartily for the autographed copy of your forthcoming book Citadel, Market and Altar. From the accompanying letter, I infer that you have probably read some of my writings and thus have a fairly definite notion that what you have written would find an attentive and appreciative reader when it came under my eye. At all events, that is the case, and ideas that seemed in my mind at least to be generally consonant with yours have been developed in my Price Making in A Democracy and my Economics in the Public Service, in both cases in the opening chapters.
Your book comes to me at a most opportune time, as I am doing some exploratory writing which will yield some addresses, and perhaps chapters in an eventual book. I have already read a number of your chapters and expect to keep the volume at hand and to turn to it repeatedly as a respectful and appreciative explorer in the field in which your work seems to me very suggestive and rewarding.
Cordially yours,
(signed) Edwin G. Nourse
