Letter from Dennis J. Duncanson to Richard A. May in response to May's letters on 09 September 1967. Duncanson confirms that the publishers will circulate notices of his book in the upcoming weeks, then review copies will be out by December of the year. By that time the publication date of his book will have been settled. Duncanson believes that it would be best to pre-empt demand for his book in advance by asking May to stimulate interest (and, therefore, demand) in influential quarters through May's contacts, such as Larson and Sen. Morton. This would, also, involve engineering a situation where somebody from Reader's Digest would telephone Oxford University Press, Time-Life, the Senate, etc. to enquire about Duncanson's upcoming book.

Duncanson in which May requests one more complete set of Duncanson's manuscript, while he plans to leave the current set in his possession with Ambassador Donald Heath in New York.

May's post-script explains how he will try to make sure that Duncanson's book will have a prominent review in the New York Times Book Review.

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.

Duncanson discusses copyright issues in America in relation to the forthcoming publication of his book and would be happy for a paperback edition of his book should it be offered. Duncanson extends his gratitude for Ambassador Donald Heath's feedback on Duncanson's page proofs.
