Mr. Carleton B. Tibbetts
2444 So. Alameda Street
Los Angeles 11, California
Dear Mr. Tibbetts:
Thank you very much for your courtesy in inquiring from General Mark Clark about the situation of my friend in Austria. I was sorry to hear that the situation is hopeless, but I appreciate very much your help in inquiring about it.
May I take this occasion to thank you for the most interesting time I had in visiting your plant and for your courtesy in answering all my questions. I think you will like my version of a steel man when you will meet him in my novel.
With best regards,
Sincerely,
Ayn Rand
