A letter to T. N. Carswell from Claude Lloyd, Exeter, New Hampshire, dated October 31, 1945. Lloyd acknowledges his receipt of the letter from Carswell stating that he knew it was from him by the handwriting. He discourses on his view of the foundation of friendship, advises that George Paxton, "whom I had not seen since we took our degrees together down at Yale in 1925", and he had visited without reservation and gives his assurance that whatever had happened "during the Abilene debacle" had not changed Paxton. Lloyd mentions the names of other friends including Mildred Paxton, Professor Mullins, Tot, Gene Holman. He describes the West Texas view he longs for and summarizes his life in New Hampshire for the last twenty years discussing his work history, his wife, children and house and other members of his family living in various towns in Texas. He advises that he will write to Dr. Jellinek, as Carswell suggested, and although he has several friends still at Yale, he does not know Jellinek.
