These letters from Gregory Bateson to Norbert Wiener, held in the Gregory Bateson Collection at the Don D. Jackson Archive, University of Louisiana at Monroe, are presented here in the order in which they were composed and sent. Note, however, that the typescript of the first letter, here labeled “Approx. 1954,” is in fact a reproduction retyped (presumably by Bateson) and sent along with the third letter, from 1959, printed here. The original letter it reproduces is not in the Jackson Archive but evidence suggests that the original was initially composed in 1954, as Bateson reports. The letters are published with the permission of the Bateson Idea Group and Nora Bateson. —Bernard Dionysius Geoghegan
