Ford II, Henry, American. Industrialist, President of the Ford Motor Company, grandson of the company founder (1917-1987). Letter from the U.S. "Best Regards Henry Ford II". 1 S. Gr. 4to. Dearborn (Michigan) 26.I.1977. To Mr. Jones, who had commented on Ford's withdrawal from the Board of Trustees of the Ford Foundation in a letter. "... I hope that the views I expressed at the time will cause some rethinking of staff policies and programs. The Foundation is an organization with vast potential for service to society here and in many other parts of the world, but I believe that it must, at the same time, help serve the economic system out of which it was created."
