Penned letter from Samuel B. Pettengill, Robin Lawn, Grafton, Vermont

June 11, 1957

 

 

 

Dear Mr. Heath:

 

Thank you kindly for sending me an advance copy of Citadel, Market & Altar. It is plain that you have done, for many years, original thinking. At first glance, I know it goes way beyond my time-worn path. I have thought for years, however, that we on the free market side of public questions have screamed too much and been too doleful — “America at the Cross Roads” etc etc — too negative.

 

 You present an optimistic view and a new vista without sacrificing the ancient foundations of freedom.

 

 Long may your wave!

 

Sincerely,

 

/s/ Sam Pettengill
