This subseries appears to be incomplete. Apparently, the intent was to arrange the correspondence in alphabetical order once all of the 1965-1966 correspondence had been received by the Peace Collection. Because not all of the 1966 correspondence is here, this alphabetization has not been done. The first 3 folders are in alphabetical order; the remainder is in rough chronological order]
