Autograph letter signed : Can Tho, Vietnam, to "Alicia," [1967 Jan. 21].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/780176663

Describing a Viet Cong terrorist attack on a crowded restaurant and the resulting injuries and death; criticizing the anti-war protesters in the U.S. and suggesting that they might be more useful in the medical corps in Vietnam helping to treat the Vietnamese wounded by the Viet Cong; saying that this "would be a real protest against war. They would have to be told of course that their V.C. heroes do not respect peaceful intentions. They bomb hospitals and set mines for ambulances. It might be dangerous to see this method of protest and besides, if they left the country, their relief checks might stop. But in return they might gain a little pride in themselves as being for something instead of only against."
