Loosely laid in are two letters from Leonard James (the editor) to Mr Laurence W Viney in England - the first letter dated Feb 6th 1947 refers to a photograph of Mr Viney's family that Leonard James wants to use in the book - the letter is signed and the photograph referred to was used in this book. The second letter from Leonard James dated May 5th 1947 refers to a citation, a package and a book etc again signed by James. The third letter dated June 6th 1978 is from Mr Frederick Harrison at the academy to "Ted" telling him that Larry has never had a copy of Phillips Academy and does he, Ted, know where a copy may be found. Finally completing the story there is a dedication written on the front free endpaper reading 'To Lawrence Viney from Ted Harrison, June 1978'.
