Dear Dr. Einstein
Instead of a weekly formal reply to your R'ceivd letter and pamphlet (on this birthday of two great emancipators), I want to say that, being a retired teacher, I came contribute anything worth while to your enterprise; but that I am very glad to see that you are directing your energies to the residual common sense of Lincoln's Plain Folk - who hold the final social power. If you can scare them enough - as you can in the case of cancer, for instance - they may respond. I have spent my life hoping to disseminate the simplest of simple social [illegible], and so did my predecessor, for whom this Club is named; but we have not got much anywhere. Wish you all success.
Truly yours, A. G. Keller
