June 29, 1948
Dr. Albert Einstein Institute for Advanced Study Princeton, New Jersey
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
