4 items. Includes communiques between Marketing Research and Carolyn Miller of Arcadia (she had strong anti-Conrad sentiments to express), then between Williams and Miller. Also a copy of a letter from Williams to Mrs. B.J. Carroll of Newport Beach. Carroll had also obviously taken strong exception to one or more Conrad cartoons, and Williams was defending him as "a social critic."
