October 15, 1945

Dear Dr. Scaife

I have gone through Immanuel Velikovsky’s “Ages in Chaos” with an interest stimulated by the audacity of the author rather than by the worth of his opus. It has no scientific value, in my judgment. It is a monument of misguided effort. I should not be published by the Harvard Press or, as I think, by anybody.

 

I am, Yours sincerely.

  W. S. Ferguson
