Letter to Jacques Barzun, Columbia University, New York 27, New York
August 22, 1957
Dear Dr. Barzun:
Having a spent a good many years as a research engineer and in search of a mode of public administration without coercion upon the persons and properties of those being served, I have formulated my findings in the recently published volume, CITADEL, MARKET AND ALTAR. I am enclosing for your information the dust cover and some extracts from letters that have been so far received from persons of some standing in the intellectual and public fields.
If this descriptive material convinces you that you would like to examine this volume, possibly with a view to reviewing it, I shall be very happy to send it to you with my compliments, entirely free of charge or any other obligation. I am prompted to this by my very high estimation of your critical acumen as displayed in your reviews and other writings.
Your return of this letter with your name or initials attached will be taken as a signal of your acceptance of my proffered courtesy.
Sincerely yours,
SM/m
Encls.
