Summary
Expressing concern about Ed [Edwin Seldon, 1917-1984?] not responding to letters and the possibility that he was "dragged off [to World War II] sooner than he thought"; notifying that Peter Ruderman, "editor of the Harvard Guardian and president of the Liberla [sic] Union" was baptized and that Father Joe Fletcher, who believes "that the Fascists in England and America may be doing a rather good job in cooperating with those abroad" and that "the wretched people of the world may find themselves caught in universal Fascism", visited from Cincinnati; informing that he interviewed for a job in Dover, New Jersey, but that he does not expect to get it; informing that Father Fletcher thinks he should go to New York and work as a freelance, which Smyth finds appealing; asking for news about Cahoon and Ed; explaining that he flew straight to Newark and so did not visit Cahoon in New York.
