Dear Pat:

Thank you for your letter. I am glad that you told me about Henry Hazlittā€™s business plans for the new magazine. I did know about the project of the magazine, but I did not know the details.

I telephoned Hazlitt long distance when I received your letter, and spoke to him in person, pointing out to him all the principles and philosophical aspects which should be considered in this undertaking. I have not heard from him since and I donā€™t know what his decisions will be.

I hope that this will be the kind of ā€œThink Magazineā€ we have been expecting for years, but I suppose that we wonā€™t know for sure until we see the first few issues.

Sincerely,

 

Ayn
