Dear Dr. Einstein,
I am sorry for my delay in replying to your telegraphed appeal. I enclose our check for one hundred dollars. I am afraid we must ask you to take this as a purely personal response to you. I have no confidence in anyone's ability, for two hundred thousand or two hundred million dollars, to teach the people anything except perhaps to buy more of a certain toothpaste.
With kindest regards, I am Yours sincerely, Alfred A. Knopf
Dr. Albert Einstein, Chairman Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists Princeton, N.J.
