Letter from Leonard E. Read, President, The Foundation for Economic Education, Inc., Irvington-on-Hudson, New York, to Heath at The Science of Society Foundation, Roadsend Gardens, 1502 Montgomery Road, Elkridge 27, Maryland

May 5, 1960

White envelope also has original of early version of “Instead of Violence”

My dear Spencer:

I do appreciate your good letter of the 2nd for which I thank you most profusely.

All of us here always look forward to your visits, so come again as soon as you can, at which time we can “talk earnestly and searchingly.”

The enclosure, “Instead of Violence” is in an early rough form. We probably won’t publish it but I do these things as an exercise in thinking. It deals with the more obvi­ous outgrowth of force as it manifests itself in inter­national terms and not with the originating instances of force which is what you have in mind. Nonetheless, you may find it of interest and, of course, I’d be pleased to have your views concerning it.

Cordially,

/s/ Leonard
