Letter from Felix Wittmer, 395 Grove Street, Upper Montclair, NJ, to Heath at 11 Waverly Place, New York City. Included with the original are two promotional pieces about Mr. Wittmer’s The Yalta Betrayal.

September 22, 1954

 

 

Dear Mr. Heath:

 

Thank you for your fine letter of September 13. I had noticed your letter to the Wall Street Journal and in fact had clipped it at the time. (My article for the Freeman lay around the Freeman office for ten weeks before it was published.)

 

 I doubt very much that the article will arouse much interest. Freeman articles are not even listed in The Reader’s Guide, possibly because only about 100 newsstands carry the magazine. I would not know how to attract attention of the American Bar Association. When Caxton brought out my monograph on the Yalta Conference, I sent a copy to Frank Holman; but he never even acknowledged receipt.

 

 By the way, I would think that J.H. Gipson, President of Caxton Printers, Caldwell, Idaho, would be very much interested in some little book containing the ideas of your “Politics Versus Proprietorship” (1936.) Jim has published many libertarian books of writers who were influenced by Henry George.

 

 I would be glad to receive from you some prospectus about the Science of Society Foundation.

 

Sincerely yours,

 

/s/ Felix Wittmer
