VIA AIR MAIL FREDERICK NYMEYER, 16546 South Park Avenue, South Holland, Illinois, U.S.A. August 9, 1965 Dr. Ludwig von Mises c/o Hotel Meister Lugano-Paradiso, Switzerland Dear Dr. von Mises: Under separate cover we are sending you a copy of CALIFORNIA MINING JOURNAL for August, 1965. You are favorably mentioned, and intelligently quoted, on the first editorial page; I have marked it. We sent a copy of the reprint by FEE of your article, "The Gold Problem, thinking that the JOURNAL might take it over and print it. Instead, they have made an extract from it. See page 17. I have marked the publication elsewhere where I read something of interest. You might be interested in page 14. CALIFORNIA MINING JOURNAL is not particularly circumspect in its comments on the precious metal situation and the of the United States Government. * * * We are down to 150 copies of PLANNING FOR FREEDOM. As we have reported previously, individual sales and bulk sales have been higher in the past twelve months than ever before. By the time we can get a new printing, with copies ready for shipment, we will probably be down to about zero inventory. The latest issue was by the offset printing method, but we employed our regular letter press printer who farmed the work out. We are about ready to authorize a new issue by our local offset printer, a man known as Alonzo Kallemeyn operating under the name, Park Press. If we run 4,000 instead of 2,000, the cost will drop to about 36c against a former cost of 66$ for the printing and binding. Over the last year and a half we have averaged to move about 100 copies a month. To have 4,000 printed means that our stock would not be exhausted until more than three years hence. I am inclined to take the chance; however, the sale might slow up; our movement is noticeably dependent upon the resale by AMERICAN OPINION (John Birch Society), Nathaniel Branden Institute (associated with Ayn Rand), FEE and Americanism Educational League (Knotts' Berry Farm). I shall release printing instructions before the end of the month, and if you have any amendatory ideas, we shall be glad to hear from you. As you know, we have approximately 14,000 copies of "Middle- of-the-Road Policy Leads to Socialism, which we are thinking of
