Letter to Heath from F.A. Harper At 92 Marcourt Drive, Ext., Chappaqua, New York

October 23, 1957

Dear Mr. Heath:

 

      Many, many thanks for the tip about your friend Lindsley.

 

      It might be a great service if you were at an early date to tell him of the general nature and hopes I have entertained of a project of research and education for the cause we hold so dear. I might then, in due course, approach him for a talk, after you have paved the way for me in any way you deem wise.

 

      There now appear on the horizon two possibilities from which to choose in carrying out some such work as we talked about. One is a definite, pressing actual offer; the other is a budding one. One might, in time, develop into something to make use of a site like yours for the establishment of a worthy project. The other must, by the law of the funds involved, be for work located in another state.

As you can well imagine, the business and financial recession catches us in a dire state of privation which, though chronic, becomes critical whenever any setback comes into the picture. Those of us in the organization not endowed by the FEE funds, in effect, for our living costs may have to dip into our reserves at any time, in order to maintain a work even then acutely uncertain. So I’m looking …
