Dear Ross:
Thank you for your letter of October 19 and for the copies of the mailing piece on THE FOUNTAINHEAD. I was delighted to see it.
I have just received today a letter from the Indianapolis office with this same ad for THE FOUNTAINHEAD printed on the envelope. I must tell you that it gave me a thrill. I love original stunts in advertising, and I was glad to see that Bobbs-Merrill went for such an unorthodox idea.
With best regards,
Sincerely,
Ayn Rand
