Dear Josh,

In "Man and His Future" published by Ciba a long
time ago, in 1963, you have made some comments and
some Opinions have been attributed to you. I am
planning to write something on this subject and I
wonder whether you still hold these opinions. The >
opinions mentioned ares (1) Beginning at the bottom
of page 275, with the remainder of the paragraph on
page 276; (2) on page 288 and 289. Ag you know, there
is as much divergence of views on this subject now as

there was in 1963, and before that.

Yours sincerely,

Atte.
