LUDWIG VON MISES 777 WEST END AVENUE NEW YORK 25, N.Y. February 13, 1964 Mr. Donald J. Lambro Managing Editor The New Guard Young Americans for Freedom, Inc. 514 C Street N.E. Washington, D.C. 20002 Dear Mr. Lambro: I find it extremely difficult to write my own biography. May I refer you to the short biographical sketch written by Mrs. Mary Sennholz in the book On Freedom and Free Enterprise, Essays in Honor of Ludwig von Mises, pages IX to XII. The book was published by the D. Van Nostrand Company, Princeton, New Jersey, in 1956. If you write to Mrs. Sennholz (200 East Pine Street, Grove City, Pa.), she will certainly grant the permission to quote amply from her article. Moreover you can find a characterization of my books and my teaching activities on the jacket of a collection of articles of mine published by the Libertarian Press first in 1952 and later again under the title Planning for Freedom. The publisher -- Mr. Frederick Nymeyer, 16546 South Park Avenue, South Holland, Illinois -- will certainly give you the authorization. I am enclosing a glossy photograph. Kindest regards Sincerely yours, L.min
