Scope and Content

Miller to Carrick.. Carbon copy of a typed letter on onionskin. Miller tells Carrick that he has written to Craig regarding getting copies of his book and The Mask if possible. Most of the rest of the letter is an account of his recent trip around the world, noting that his experiences in Paris were not that pleasant. Miller details his visit with Craig in Nice, at which time he had presented Craig with his dissertation. He mentions that when he flew from Nice to Rome, his seatmate was Merle Oberon "who I found to be perfectly charming." Miller's perspective of the peoples of Greece, Rome, Turkey, India, Ceylon, and Cambodia was that they were "basking in the reflected glory of what their ancestors had contributed to civilizations...they, themselves were merely parasites living on the past and not contributing anything currently." 3 leaves.
