Correspondence, 1954-1971

 Series 2

Series II contains two sets of correspondence. The first contains the correspondence between Anne Lorentz Miller and Ben E. Wilbur, and spans the years from March 1954 to November 1955. Ben E. Wilbur was the director of radio at the Broadcasting and Film Commission of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America. He commissioned Miller to write scripts for his organization. Copies of letters from her describe her ongoing writing projects and also describe life in the Philippines as a diplomatic wife and a working woman.

The second set of correspondence in this series is that of Robert B. Beusse, vice president of radio and TV station WOR, and Arthur Hull Hayes, former president of CBS radio, written between December 1967 and November 1971. Both men were board members of the North American Advisory Board for Vatican Radio. The purpose of this organization was to act as a liaison between Rome and a specific radio market and to cooperate in getting wider listening audiences for Vatican Radio's programming. The correspondence consists mainly of notification of board meetings, minutes of meetings, and reports.
