Letter to Dr. Virgil Jordan, Aurora, West Virginia

August 17, 1957

 

Dear Dr. Jordan:

It was exceedingly gratifying to me to receive your kind letter of July 15th. For I have long felt that there ought to be an articulate and inspiring philosophy of modern capitalism and free enterprise, and have en­tertained hope that my own contributions might prove to be significant in that direction.

 With this thought in mind, I am planning to present copies of CITADEL, MARKET AND ALTAR to a number of the Officers and Trustees of The Conference Board. I trust there will be no impropriety in including with the books an extract from your very generous letter, together with a similar appreciation from Dr. William Ernest Hocking that I have been happy to receive.

 I hope you are having a very pleasant summer in your mountain retreat and that your further reading will justify all your first impressions.

 With all good wishes, I Remain

    Sincerely yours,

 

SH/m
