A letter written by Dennis J. Duncanson in pencil, containing multiple corrections. In the letter, Duncanson thanks the intended recipient for having offered observations regarding the book, Government and Revolution in Vietnam, to his relative, Richard A. May. Duncanson writes that he believes the study of Vietnam is "a mortification of the flesh" and that he is destined to pursue it indefinitely. He also writes that he is now working on his second book on Vietnam, which is more about the North than the South.

Two copies of a letter from Robert D. Murphy to unnamed recipients concerning Dennis J. Duncanson's book 'Government and Revolution.' The letter contains a single comment with permission to be used: "…a scholarly and fascinating presentation of an elusive subject matter...an intensely instructive and gripping narrative. It is hard to lay this book down."

Letter from Sataro Tanaka to R.A. May in response to a letter he received on 11 March 1968. Tanaka writes to inform of having visited Mr. Hirakawa who is in charge of the foreign books at Maruzen Book Store and asked him to receive orders of the new edition of Duncanson's, 'Government and Revolution in Vietnam.' Tanaka also informs that he has left a leaflet with the Editorial Department at The Asahi Shimbun through his son who is a purchasing agent with them.

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.
