Letter to Spencer Heath and Spencer MacCallum From F.A. (“Baldy”) Harper, The Foundation for Economic Education, Inc., Irvington-on-Hudson, New York

March 27, 1957

 

Dear Spencer & Spencer:

We arrived home safely last evening, and want to thank you for all your courtesies and kindnesses.

Now we can see through experience what you mean by not wasting your energy fighting “negatives,” for when a group of Gypsies came along you more or less abandoned your own house for their convenience while there in the vicinity. And you put up no battle at all to retain full use of your own property. Yes, our thanks.

The little book I mentioned by Virgil Jordan is the one titled “Manifesto for the Atomic Age” (Rutgers U. Press, 1946. 70 pp). You will find in it some strange elements of despair, I believe.

I have given Dr. Curtiss your message about the summer seminars. He has full charge of them, and I am sure will do all he can in making his arrangements.

Do you happen to know Mr. E.F. Hutton personally? Or know anything about him that would be a helpful way to open an exploration of some ideas sometime, if there were a good opportunity?

I am sending herewith an item by Sir Flinders Petrie, perchance Spencer M. has not seen it. And you may keep it if you desire.

Cordially,

(signed) Baldy

F. A. Harper
