Addressed to Arnold Gates (1914-93, noted Lincoln and Civil War scholar). Near fine. On letterhead of "The Pennsylvania State University," Maddox graciously thanks Gates (as literary editor of the "Lincoln Herald") for comments on Maddox's 1973 book "The New Left and the Origins of the Cold War." Reads in part: "Your comment about how the revisionists have responded is perfectly true. They are well advised not to restrict the argument to facts, because there they are lost.

Signed boldly in full in black ballpoint. With original envelope tipped in as well. Contributors of articles to this volume include Eric Foner, Dee Brown, David Halberstam, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Stephen E. Ambrose, Nicholas Lemann and other notables.…
