Carbon of a letter from Heath to William Ernest Hocking, Madison, New Hampshire

August 3, 1957

Dear Dr. Hocking:

     I can boldly express to you my gratification upon receiving your very gracious letter of July 31st. For I have long looked upon you as at the forefront of modern philosophical thought and am therefore most happy to have you recognize something of my own unpro­fessional adventures in that direction as underlying my attempt to analyze from the “natural science” point of view the evolving societal integration of mankind. For this I am profoundly grateful to you and much en­couraged in my hope for early recognition and applica­tion of creative principles in public as well as private affairs.

     Again thanking you and wishing you every “serenity” you require, I am

Sincerely yours,

SH/m
