mostly to his wife Margaret, with a few from Margaret to Heslep. Various sizes and
formats. V.p. 1950's.
OUTSTANDING ARCHIVE of very candid material from the AEC's top-ranking public information officer. The letters were written by Heslep from various locations around the world while in pursuit of his duties, and are full of observations of the inside workings of the AEC.

Participates in the usual degree of disinformation - e.g. the account of the "Lucky Dragon" incident attributes the one death to hepatitis, and still maintains the erroneous assertion that the ship was within the Restricted Zone.
