JOHN BELDING WIRT 2122 YALE STATION NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT October 15, 1954 Dr. Ludwig von Mises 6 Washington Square North New York 3, N. Y. Dear Sir: Enclosed is material from our first Lecture which was delivered by Dr. Russell Kirk on September 27th. Reception to our program and to our organization has been gratifying. Well over two hundred persons attended Dr. Kirk's talk, and though many students and faculty members are not sympathetic to our cause, they have had warm words for the project as a whole and for the manner in which we have chosen to approach the problem. Would it be possible for you to see me at your office on Wednesday or Thursday, October 27th or 28th? This is the time most convenient for me to come to New York, but if another time is preferable to you I will be glad to accommodate. We can settle a great many details then, including a date for your appearance here. With best wishes, Very truly yours, tohn Belding wint
