Prof Albert Einstein

I have discovered the "KNOW HOW" to create a perfect DEFENSE against the ATOMIC BOMB so that its destructive power cannot be used for war by any nation.

I plan to present my discovery to the 300 or more scientists who created the bomb together with several times as many more leaders of industry, commerce, manufacturing, financial, agriculture, labor and social and will invite them to be my guests at a luncheon in the Grand Ball Room of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, N.Y.C. at 12:00 noon on a date to be announced.

May I hope that you will permit the use of your name as an HONORARY SPONSOR as I want this group to represent all our 48 States so that the event will have additional national significance. There is no financial or other responsibility in your acceptance. If you can attend as my guest I shall be glad.

PLEASE REMEMBER: 1. Your being an Honorary Sponsor does not require your presence if the date, when set, does not fit into your other plans. 2. Your being an Honorary Sponsor does not require you, in case you cannot be present, to name someone to represent you as my guest save as you wish. 3. Your being an Honorary Sponsor does not carry with it your endorsement of my "Know How". 4. Your being an Honorary Sponsor only indicates your cooperation to the extent that you are willing and desirous of giving me the chance of presenting my DEFENSE to the right kind of an audience such as yourself - for you are the right kind - and in being an Honorary Sponsor thus encourage others to accept my invitation to be my guest. NOTHING MORE. 5. Your being an Honorary Sponsor requires nothing at your hands save your acceptance as such for the word "Honorary" carries no responsibilities for or against and requires no time or attention even to the point of paying no attention to further communications from me or anybody else. 6. Your acceptance is like that of an honorary degree from a university which entails no obligation or responsibility upon the recipient nor carries with it support or approval of its activities.

SO I HOPE YOUR ACCEPTANCE in enclosed stamped and addressed air mail special delivery envelope to me N.Y.C. residence as time is of the essence.
