0'77N D'ANT ET VERITAS YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS At the Carl Trumbull Williams Memorial NEW HAVEN CONNECTICUT September 17, 1957 Mr. Ludwig von Mises 777 WestEnd Avenue New York 25, New York Dear Mr. Mises: Advance stock of your THEORY AND HISTORY came through to us last week and I at once sent five copies along to you. I hope you are pleased with the way the book looks. Will you at your convenience let me know about the remaining five author's copies which we are holding for you? As you know, we are planning formal publication on October 23, and we all look forward to this event with keen anticipation. I have also sent an advance copy to Leonard Read in the hope that the Foundation may wish to use the title in some part of their program. This carries very best wishes from all of your friends here at the Press. Faithfully yours, Jourson Norman V. Donaldson NVD:SK Director
