Dear Professor Pfeiffer:There are envelopes—and they are not from many people—that when you see one of them in the mail, you know that it is certainly something pleasant, cordial, magnanimous. I was never mistaken about your envelopes.We like to hear that your visit in Europe was a success and a relaxation. I have mentioned in a letter to my publisher there (Garzanti) your visit in Rome, and possibly he has written to you.Since the astronomers expropriated your copy of the Macmillan edition of Worlds in Collision, I shall take the opportunity to mail to you a British edition copy with an appropriate inscription. I trust the astronomers will need the copy in times to come.Very sincerely,
Immanuel Velikovsky
