May 22, 1959 Monsieur le professeur Bernard Lavergne 19 Quai de Bourbon Paris (4°) France Dear Professor Lavergne: Thanks for your kind letter of May 8 and for sending me your great book L'Hegemonie du Consommateur. I have read it with the greatest interest although with certain reserva- tions. I would like to write something about your doctrine. Unfortunately I am precisely now very busy as I am leaving next week for a series of lectures in Buenos Aires. Moreover I have to attend in the course of the summer two scientific conferences. As soon as these chores are over, I will recon- sider the matter. In the meantime my best wishes to you. Sincerely, LM/ms
