Carbon of a letter from Heath to Erwin Schroedinger, 26 Kincora Road, Dublin, Ireland.

June 17, 1957

Dear Dr. Schroedinger:

     For many years, I have been convinced that the broad cultural quality of your mind has been an impor­tant factor in your great advancements of science on its purely physical side. I have been delighted by your fruitful adventurings beyond the confines of that per­haps narrowest, albeit most sensibly obvious, aspect of objective reality.

     Your What is Life? and later addresses and publications suggest the possibility that my own effort to carry basic physical conceptions over into the social as well as the biological field may be of interest to you. Accordingly, I am happy to present to you with highest compliments, an inscribed 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.

     Anticipating your kind acknowledgement and any comment to which you may be prompted, I am, with great admiration,

Sincerely yours,
