Letter to Heath from F.A. Harper, The Foundation for Economic Education, Inc.,

February 25, 1957,

 

Dear Mr. Heath:

 

We would very much like to visit you in your environs there, and we plan to do so as soon as a suitable date can be found for both of us.

      I would like to bring my wise and beloved helpmate along too, if it works out right; and perhaps even the two children, if it seemed wise to make the trip on a weekend, as may be the case. The children might visit a cousin who works and lives in Baltimore. And it is barely possible that Harriet would like to see the place too, if it should happen to be advisable for the date to be the last week of March, when she will be home for vacation from Carleton College. I’m not sure what plans she may have for those few days; she has not yet, so far as we know, settled on employment after her graduation in June, and she might happen to have some inter­views, or something of the sort.

      So in view of these observations, how does your own schedule shape up during the next month or so?

      Could you send me a road map for your local area, with the location of your place indicated thereon?

      Perhaps on these matters it would be well to use the address below for our correspondence.

 

Sincerely,

/s/ Baldy

Dear Dr. Harper:

 

      We are delighted at the prospect of a visit from you and your much admired mate at an early date, say late in March. And the children, too. I am sure we can put them up all right by then or, if a bit informally, even before that time. Please make such arrangements as will be most convenient.

      We would like to have you with us for as many days as you can stay, so that if we wish to, we can visit not only among ourselves but perhaps also some persons and places of interest in nearby Baltimore and Washington.

      As to Harriet, it will be lovely to have her come too if she can. If she should not be arriving home for vacation before you leave, she might come directly to Baltimore after you are here.

      I have made a rough map of our neighborhood, which I enclose.

Sincerely,

SH/m
