DS, two pages, 8.5 x 11, The Ayn Rand Letter, Inc. letterhead, June 16, 1976. Contract between Ayn Rand and the Palo Alto Book Service, allowing them to print The Moral Factor, a lecture that Ayn Rand gave at the Ford Hall Forum in Boston, Massachusetts, on April 11, 1976. In part: “1. The lecture must be published in full without any cuts or changes… 2. The lecture must be published as a pamphlet of the same format as that previously used by The Objectivist, Inc.…6. You will not sell the pamphlet to any political or sectarian bookstores or organizations, or to any organizations which have attacked me or the philosophy of Objectivism.” Signed and dated at the conclusion in blue ballpoint by Rand. In fine condition. In honor of the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Ayn Rand delivered her speech ‘The Moral Factor,’ which contrasted the Founding Fathers’ principled concern for individual rights with the unprincipled views of voters and candidates in the 1976 presidential election. Rand also dissects the evils of the welfare state, focusing on Sweden as its exemplar, and calls for Americans to observe the Bicentennial by discovering and upholding the nation’s founding ideals.
