June 26, 1956

June 26, 1956 My Dear Harry: I failed to mail the last report because I have been busy all the time. My friends seem to anticipate my wants and when they do not I just blunder into the right things.

June 25, 1956 Post Cards to Delaplane

June 25, 1956 Post Cards to Delaplane Dear S.D: It is evening. In my past letters I claimed to make history.

June 17, 1956 My dear Mr. Winter: I have been in Japan now a little over a month and my visit to the Seicho movement this morning causes me to write now which may be a terrible warning, a warning which may go unguarded until it is almost too late.
