Arrangement
These letter pages were found unattatched from a dated envelope. However, they were found among letters from the 1971-1973 date range. They also do not appear to be missing from any of the letters currently in the Post-Joint Chiefs of Staff series. These pages were placed in this series for these reasons inspite of lacking context and a date.
