Medicine Hat June Larson ran a sort of informal UFO clipping service, collecting and copying newspaper reports for other researchers. Judging from this letter, she mostly worked with NICAP and with Ivan Sanderson. Here, she tries to clarify how much material John wants, and how much she should charge him. She also defends NICAP and Major Keyhoe, as the most objective group “in this confused and somewhat ‘off-beat’ subject,” and regrets the energy spent on squabbles and backbiting.
Hi, Doug! June Larson—for Keel and Sanderson alone—must’ve been keeping the scissors industry in the black. Hope you’re doing well, and that the holidaze treat you kindly.

Bill — June’s letters are more reminders of how hard it was to gather information back then. As for me, I’m reasonably okay, and hope to avoid as much of the holidays as possible. And as for you, enjoy them if you can!
