Scope and content

Letter from Dennis J. Duncanson to Richard A. May. Duncanson opens his letter to discuss the developments of his book in America and his current professional situation in regards to the almost certain termination of his London School of Economics Fellowship. Duncanson believes that his prospects for Harvard are not positive and that 'the principal difficulty' for his challenges in gaining employment in the United States is 'the added disqualification of being too sceptical for American 'liberal' traditions. Instead, Duncanson will pursue two alternatives – an academic position at the Australian National University at Canberra and/or the Ford Foundation.
