Description

Dewitt writes from Oceanside, New York, to Creekmore in Jackson, Mississippi, regarding United Nations affairs, or what he calls "The Purge of the Horrid Reds from the UN." He discusses United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld's decision to not reinstate Hope and McCarthy's and Jenner's condemnations of Hope and others. He discusses Klaus Mann's autobiography, his own translation of Roads of Hunger, and his desire to start a biweekly imitation of Le Canard Enchaine or the New Yorker. He states that a friend, Lyle Stuart, created a liberal, anti-Communist monthly periodical and got beaten up in Newark, New Jersey. The letter from Dewitt is written on the back of a press release from the United Nations Department of Public Information. The press release discusses a Political Conference on Korea and the participation of the Soviet Union and India in the Political conference. The release mentions: Korea, Oscar Robles Toledano (Dominican Republic), Luc E. Fouché (Haiti), Hughes Le Gallais (Luxembourg), Ukraine, and Joao Carlos Muniz and Henrique de Souza Gomes (Brazil). Includes envelope.
