Carbon copy of an autograph letter signed : [Vietnam], to "Alicia," [1967 Jan.].

Concerning his "field trip of eight days covering just about all of Vietnam north of Saigon;" saying "I've seen one whole hell of alot of country and I've noted a number of places to return to, to sit still until the pattern of life becomes clear. Time stretches and snaps like a rubber band. The eight days I've been out have been eight life times, all different and all fascinating. I was right to be unhappy about the reporting of this country and this war only--such is the complication and magnitude of the thing that I wonder whether I can do any better. It seems to me that the best thing I can do is to keep the field of vision small and the generalities as far between as possible;" describing the beauty of the land, the variety of the flora and fauna and the richness of its natural resources in the Mekong Delta.
