Letter to James C. Ingebretsen, 1521 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles 17, California

April 10, 1957

 

 

Dear Mr. Ingebretsen:

 

I wonder if before giving so much space to Dr. Ohmann’s “SKYHOOKS,” as published in the May-June, 1955, issue of the Harvard Business Re­view, you had given thought to a letter of rejoinder from Mrs. Esther I. Persson on page 13 of the reprint of that article.

 When I first read Dr. Ohmann’s article, I was favorably, but somehow quite uneasily, impressed by it. It seemed to me there was something subtly and insin­uatingly wrong about it. This feeling was much re­inforced by reading the letter above referred to — so much so, that I took considerable trouble trying to straighten out my own mind about it. The result is condensed in the somewhat lengthy article I have prepared in the form of a letter to the Harvard Business Review.

 I cannot help wondering how this whole matter will appear to you after considering the reaction it has called out from Miss (or Mrs.) Persson, as well as my own perhaps somewhat more explicit animadversions.

 I have reason to think that a considerable number of us libertarians are sympathetic with Miss Persson’s and my own point of view.

 With many good wishes,

Cordially,
