Exchange between H. F. Langenberg, Reinholdt & Gardner, 400 Locust Street, St. Louis 2, Missouri, and Heath at Roadsend Gardens, Lawyers Hill, Elkridge, Maryland. Penciled by Heath on Langenberg’s letter: “Date – Friday, Oct. 14^th. Topic – Outgrowing Government: Free Market Alternatives.” In the Originals Envelope is a printed card with “The General Purpose” of the Discussion Club. April 1960.

April 13, 1960 Dear Mr. Heath:

At the suggestion of Robert LeFevre, I am writing to you about the possibility of your addressing the Discussion Club, the next time you are in this area or might stop by on your Coast to Coast trips. We recently had Mr. LeFevre spend an evening with our group and had a most enjoyable time.

I believe we are the only so-called libertarian group in this area and from what I hear about you, it would be a great honor and privilege to hear you. My only request would be that you let us know about four to six weeks before hand so that we can have printed up and send out invitations. It would therefore help us out no end if we could have your title and 3 or 4 paragraphs of your biography. Thanking you.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

/s/ H.F. Langenberg HFL:sb

 

 

P.S.   I would be very happy to put you up at the Racquet Club.

Dear Mr. Langenberg:

 

I appreciate your letter of the 13th, prompted by remarks of my very wonderful friend, Bob LeFevre, concerning my contributions towards a more complete understanding of our free enterprise system and what it has ahead for us.

 

I have only just arrived from California and expect to be in the East, principally at my Foundation headquarters as above, for the next three months. It would surely be a pleasure to meet you and your group if a suitable date can be set coinciding with my return to California, I will write you further as soon as my plans are sufficiently matured.

 

Wishing the best to you and your organization and cause,

 

 

Cordially yours,
