John R. Milton to Walter Clark. Letter. July 31, 1967

John Milton writes to Walter Clark on July 31, 1967 to ask him to join the growing number of Western American authors interviewed for the educational television series Milton is creating. The project would involve an on-campus taping, however Milton states that his principal interested is in Clark's general interest and thoughts on the project.
