Miller to Hughes. Carbon copy of a typed letter on onionskin. Miller mentions that Miss Ruth [St. Denis] performed at Schoenberg Hall, UCLA last July. He asks if Lucille Peters is still married to Jose Greco and imagines that by now they would have split up. Miller, in responding to Hughes's comments on cosmetics, pills, etc., wonders what has happened to the most essential sanitary ingredient--the bidet. He says that it is the bidet alone which "stamps the French as being highly civilized!" Miller is also housetraining a puppy whose "mother was a spaniel and whose papy [sic] was an evident itinerant salesman." He was supposed to have gone to Europe last summer, but the trip was cancelled when he found out that he had received a National Defense Education Act award to attend an institute at UCLA on the teaching of English as a second language. He mentions that this is a hot topic in California due to the large illiteracy rate amongst the Spanish-speaking in the U.S.A.--in particular California and Texas. In addition, he is also teaching speech pathology and is the coordinator of foreign language instruction. Miller says that he has bought a 75-year-old house that he is attempting to restore "to its pristine elegance." Miller speaks of how therapeutic dance has been for him and how much he admires Asian dancers especially. He signs his letter "Chet" [for Chet Milar, his "stage name."] 2 leaves.
