THE MACMILLAN COMPANY SIXTY • FIFTH AVENUE • NEW YORK March 20, 1940 Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky 3 Riverside Drive, New York, N.Y. Dear Dr. Velikovsky:- We appreciate your sending us, with your letter of March 10 th, the two reprints of your work, in order to give us an idea about your proposed book, THE HATRED OF NATIONS. This company is always interested in new projects, and we have been glad to go over your material and discuss in our editorial conference the possibility of such a book fitting in with out future publishing commitments. Since we can see little chance of finding a place for your work on our forthcoming schedule, we do not feel we can, in all fairness, suggest that you forward the complete manuscript for us to consider. May we not thank you for thinking of us as possible publishers of your work? We are returning your reprints, herewith. Very truly yours,
