January 9, 1970 Dear Percy, My warmest wish for a happy and productive New Year. Thank you for your much appreciated Christmas greeting. It seems only yesterday since our long and most pleasant discussion amidst the volumes of your fine library. Saturday, August 9, will always be remembered as the high point of a most memorable summer. I am looking forward with anticipation to our next meeting, hopefully this spring or in September, 1970. Since school began this fall I have had several discussions with my former students and other interested citizens about a Mises-Greaves seminar in Seattle. I am pleased to note that we have made some very tentative plans for such a seminar. Several of my former students have become outstanding students of the free market and the works of Ludwig Mises are a constant topic with them. We have formed a group called Praxeology Northwest for the purpose of sponsoring a Mises seminar, operating a library, and promoting praxeology as a key to human understanding. Now that we are ready to sponsor a seminar may I ask you to supply me with answers to the following questions: 1.) would Ludwig Mises and his wife be able to fly to Feemage Seattle for a one day seminar to be held (Sat.) May 23, 1970, (Sat.) September 19, or (Sat.) May 2, 1970? This is the order of our preference. If we held the seminar at the Washington Plaza Hotel, where he would be staying, would he be able to give a morning and late afternoon talk? 2.) Would you be able to come on the same date to make it a Mises-Greaves seminar? If so what compensation would you require above expenses? 3.) We are interested in a seminar on money and banking or on the inevitable consequences of socialism. We would like to select a topic with impact as we are planning on between 300 and 500 participants. 4.) Would Dr. and Mrs. Mises still come for all expenses plus $300? Our idea was that they fly in on Friday and return on the noon flight Sunday. This should assure plenty of rest as the seminar and all accomodations would be in the same hotel.
