Dear Dr. Kissinger,

As a French medieval historian and an English industrial
archeologist, I have become enormously absorbed by the United States which
I admire tremendously. I am taking the liberty of sending you the French
edition of my book _La Révolution Industrielle du Moyen Age_, which is to be
published in America shortly as _The Medieval Machine_. It may be of some
interest to you, whom I regard as a very senior historian indeed.

I enclose also an article lately completed, which is the fruit
of my alarm and concern about certain American trends only too reminiscent
of those which signified the break down of the great French technological
culture before the year 1350. It would give me great pleasure if you find in
either the book or the article something relevant to your vast knowledge and
historical perspective.

Mr. Secretary:

Adalbert de Segonzac has asked me to pass on to you what he calls "the elucidations of a brilliant mind."

I have already sent a note to Ziggy thanking him and asking him to pass on your thanks to the author.

Sirs

Actually, it is kind g interesting - beginning about on page 8. There are some holes in his argument - he sees more similarities with the medieval period than differences - but on a rainy day it's not bad reading.

Secretary of State

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

It has been several months since you, Elizabeth and Dave were at the ranch with us. We enjoyed your visit very much and hope that when things quiet down a little for you that you folks will return.

Now since reading about your marriage, thought is was definitely time to write and give you our congratulations.

We have been following your travels and successes very closely, and again want to repeat to you what I said when you were leaving the ranch and boarding the plane. That is, that the people of this country feel so very fortunate to have a person of your caliber doing so much for the good of our country.

PS. Give our best to Elizabeth and Dave and also tell Mrs. Kissinger hello for us.
