Would this be I.J. Good's letter on the 46656 Varieties of Bayesians? (I'm practicing my google-fu)

That pdf is a scan of chapters 3 and 4 of I. J. Good's book, Good Thinking: The Foundations of Probability and Its Applications (free pdf) (Minnesota: University of Minnesota Press, 1983). Chapter 3, '46656 varieties of Bayesians', reprints a letter in American Statistician (December, 1971), vol. 25, pp. 62-63. This is indeed the letter which JonathanLivengood cited in his comment above.

Wow! Thanks for the Good Thinking link. Now I won't have to scan it myself.

Yes, that's the letter!
