   I had the privilege of hearing the quite remarkable Dr. Daniel Q. Posin of North Dakota State College at Chatham, N. J., last night and I was so much impressed both by his talk there and a somewhat similar talk which I heard Sunday on the way home from a World Government conference at Pocono Pines attended by Dr. Szilard, Clifton Fadiman, Cord Meyer,  Mortimer Adler, Stringfellow Barr and others,  that I would like to make a contribution to the work of the Committee of Atomic Scientists and, accordingly, I enclose a check for $50.  I do wish most earnestly that it might be possible for larger audiences everywhere in the country to hear Dr. Posin's magnificently lucid and greatly impressive presentation.

My dear Dr. Einstein:

  I had the privilege of hearing the quite remarkable Dr. Daniel Q. Posin of North Dakota State College at Chatham, N. J., last night and I was so much impressed both by his talk there and a somewhat similar talk which I heard Sunday on the way home from a World Government conference at Pocono Pines attended by Dr. Szilard, Clifton Fadiman, Cord Meyer,  Mortimer Adler, Stringfellow Barr and others,  that I would like to make a contribution to the work of the Committee of Atomic Scientists and, accordingly, I enclose a check for $50.  I do wish most earnestly that it might be possible for larger audiences everywhere in the country to hear Dr. Posin's magnificently lucid and greatly impressive presentation. 
  I am sure you will not remember me, even though I had the privilege of meeting you at a Princeton World Government conference several years ago,  but I am sure you will recall my uncle, the late Professor George N. Priest , who was a devoted and understanding friend of the old Germany. 
   With every good wish, I am 
          Cordially and sincerely yours, 
            S/ A. J. G. PRIEST
