RICHARD C. CORNUELLE Dear Professor Mises: Thank you for your note of October 23, 1954 and the copy of your letter to Mr. Wirt. You have expressed an idea which I consider indisputable with unusual clarity and precision. I think your decision to withdraw your acceptance of Mr. Wirt's invitation on this basis is entirely justified. All the best. Sincerely, Dik RCC/klh November 5, 1954 Professor Ludwig von Mises 777 West End Avenue New York 25, New York
