About This Item
Buenos Aires, 1966. 2 pp. 4to. Fine. 2 pp. 4to. Mathematician and author Martin Gardner had quoted Federico Fink in one of his articles in Scientific American, and a correspondence ensued.

The letter mentions Fink's New Year's Card for 1960, which shows a view along the street (present here), and a signed copy of El Aleph (not present), and a "small parcel of books by him", one of which is a copy of the first edition of Introducción a la literatura inglesa (1965), inscribed inside the first blank "From F. F to M. G.". Foster A68.1; Helft, p. 87
