Carbon of letter to E. Merrill Root, 3221 Berwyn Lane, Richmond, Indiana

Dear Dr. Root:

     I often think very happily, even affectionately, of you. I admire the versatility of a man who can be so much of a poet and at the same time deal so trenchantly in matters of fact.

     I think that you will be happy to note that my CITADEL, MARKET AND ALTAR has met with some cordial reception both here and abroad, as indicated by the printed matter enclosed, although it has had but little general circulation yet. Your own comment is appreciated as among the most valuable of any that have been made, and I have accordingly taken the liberty of reproducing a portion of it, as you will observe.

     I hope the world-political situation has not been discouraging to you, in view of the long-term movements in history which constitute the general trend.

     Wishing you and all your house many, many happy new years,

Cordially yours,

Spencer Heath
