Handwritten letter from Richard A. May to Dennis J. Duncanson. This includes an update from Donald Heath who believes that Duncanson's book is a masterpiece but reader interest in the U.S.A. will be confined mostly to academic circles. Nevertheless, Heath promises his endorsement of the book, though in a class composed of three other works – The Two Vietnams by Bermond B. Fall; To Move A Nation by Roger Hilseman; and Viet Cong by Douglas Pike - which May believes are all incomparable to Duncanson's book.

May fears that limited sales to primarily academic circles would place Duncanson completely at the mercy of Professors who could use his work as they choose and Duncanson would have little means of checking whether he has received any credit at all. Therefore, May enquires about Duncanson's contract with Oxford University Press London in order to determine whether it is possible for May to provide page proofs of Duncanson's book to Reader's Digest or Time-Life in America.

Letter from Kenneth Younger to Dennis J. Duncanson in reply to Duncanson's letter on 09 December 1967. Younger agrees with Duncanson that OUP New York have made a poor judgement of only ordering 500 copies.

Younger reassures Duncanson of the potential success/sales of his book in America.
