Dear.Hr. Dove,

Thanks very much for your good letter of
March 2. Unfortunately. the Cato Institute cannot
make any donations to political organizations because
of our tax exempt status. However. we can sell you

fifty copies of the January 2 issue at our regular
distributors discount of 50% off the newsstand price

of $1.25. Assuming this is agreeable to you, I have
sent off fifty copies of the issue along with a bill

for $31.25 plus $3.32 for postage.

Thank you for your interest in Inggigx. and
good luck with your new books ore.

Mr. Edward H. Crane

Dear Mr. Crane.

Congratulations on the success of your new libertarian
magazine ?Inquiry?. I have read all of your early issues
and I am convinced your magazine will address a substantial
segment of the population and issues. which til now the lib-
ertarian publications have failed to do. I'm sure you know
of what I am speakingl i.e. the younger set. the college
crowd and the left wing of the political spectrum. I am
thrilled to know that someone has finally answered this
need. And I am highly impressed with your approach. It
should be most effective.

 

I am a long-time activist in the Libertarian Party and
a member of the Fairbanks LP Executive Committee. I am also
a close friend and business associate of Dick Randolph. whom

you know personally.

We would like to use your magazine to develop a liber?
tarian following at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks.
Up til now, our attempts to organise the of A have met
with little success. primarily. in my opinion. because the
image we have built and the issues we have dealt with appeals
to the independent conservatives and those of the rightewing.
We believe "Inquiry" may well be the key to change that.

To begin. we'll need l?~50 copies of the Jan. 2 issue
of ?Inquiry" (the lead story in that issue is the most
significant contribution of "Inquiry? to date) plus 50
copies of the most recent issue. We will distribute these
copies(and other materials we already have) to the students
on the Fairbanks of A campus in an effort to develop
an "Inquiry" readership and a Libertarian Party group.



 

 

  
  

Mr. Randolph and I feel that inasmuch as we could de-
velop a siseable readership for you. that you just might
.be willing to donate these copies to us. However. in the
event that it is just impossible for you to give them to

us. the Fairbanks LP would be willing to pay the bill for
these copies at wholesale discount prices.

Once we built up a siseable readership. we intend that
our bookstore "Alaska Freedom Liberty Books" will be-

come your Alaska distributor. Therefore. as you can see.

not only are we trying to organise a libertarian following

on the campus here: we are also trying to develop a business

opportunity that will prove profitable to you as well as
130 115-

7: look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely.
Yours for FreedomI
