              Letter from Keith M. Nightingale to Dennis J. Duncanson. Nightingale, a Captain in the Infantry who served as an advisor to a Vietnamese Ranger Battalion in the Long Kanh, Bien Hoa, Bing Tuy Phuoc Tuy Province areas, now currently an instructor in the Military Science Department, thanks Duncanson for his book, Government and Revolution in Vietnam, which Nightingale describes as a source of information and reference material. Nightingale offers his account of the events surrounding General Nguyen Chi Tanh - as mentioned by Duncanson on page 372 of his book- who Nightingale confirms as having perished in a battle on 28 June 1967. It is unclear from this letter whether it was written in May or June 1969.

              A letter from John T. McAlister Jr. to Dennis J. Duncanson with an enclosed copy of his review in The New York Times Book Review of Duncanson's book 'Government and Revolution in Vietnam'. McAlister apologies to Duncanson for not writing sooner and explains that his involvement in Senator Robert Kennedy's campaign did not provide any free time to correspond.

              McAlister writes that he has enclosed several items for Duncanson's attention: the first item is a piece that he wrote on mountain minorities which Duncanson had enquired about, the second is a copy of McAlister's testimony before Senator Fulbright's Foreign Relations Committee of the U.S. Senate and the third is McAlister's book review of Duncanson's 'Government and Revolution in Vietnam'. McAlister writes that although their opinions of Vietnam differ, it is of a scholarly nature and that Duncanson may, in turn, have the chance to review his own forthcoming book.

              Letter from George K. Tanham, National Chairman of American Friends of Vietnam. Tanham writes of the recent wave of terrorist attacks of the period of the Lunar New Year, as well as of a previous massacre of unarmed mountain tribesmen at Dak Son on 05 December, where 252 people were killed, another 100 were kidnapped, and 500 were missing.

              Tanham writes that despite the terror tactics designed to intimidate the South Vietnamese, in recent presidential elections 83% of eligible voters went to the polls, which showed an unwillingness to permit the National Liberation Front to take over by default. Further neighbouring nations including the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and the Republic of Korea have also expressed their support for the allied effort in South Vietnam. Tanham calls for the support of the American Friends of Vietnam to support the society's efforts in achieving a stable, just and democratic society and that despite Vietnam receiving American military and economic assistance, the country also needs the support of an informed American public.
