http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647901053

In a letter, October 15, to John Clinton Gray, Stillman asks for Gray's private opinion on the legality of a decision by the State Department to deny United States citizens protection and passports after they have lived abroad for more than five years; explains he was issued a temporary passport by the Embassy in Rome under the condition that he declare his intention to return to the United Sates within a limited time; states that he knows other people with same predicament, most of whom like himself are without funds to make a case to the Supreme Court; mentions mutual friends from the old "Adirondack set," John Holmes, Forbes, and Ward of whom he and the judge are only one still living. There is also a magazine clipping of a portrait of Stillman.
