- Letter from Ralph Spitzer to LP RE: Asks if LP knows of any possible assistance he can receive in finishing his book. Spitzer encloses a copy of the letter he sent to the members of the committee. Handwritten Postscript: “If you wouldn’t mind writing to some of your friends in the committee- say Brack and Oppenheimer (Taylor, I take it is hopeless) and asking in a pleasant way the reason for their decision- I think it might have a salutory effect. I am going to get a number of people to do likewise. If they suspect the truth is getting out they may change their minds. You could have a good excuse for asking because you sponsored me for the fellowship and its natural you should be interested. You maybe suggest that I implied political discrimination but you are sure. Thanx.” [Letter from LP to Spitzer, May 20, 1950] [Filed under LP Biographical: (Political Issues: Ralph Spitzer: Academic Freedom and Passport Difficulties, 1942-1994), Box #2.034, Folder #34.2]
