Dear Jack,
Coming back from Japan and Cambodgia [sic], I find your booklet "Home to Moberly", and as I am starting to write
to thank you and to send season's greetings, here comes your Christmas card with a clipping from the Kansas City Star So I see that, even though you are "retired", you keep on with your writing, and I am glad of it. Just go on, you certainly still have much to say. We went to Japan for a congress of anthropology, but as a country, it made a deep impression on us. Somewhat frightened me: one hundred million people, so energetic, so faithful to their way of life under a mask of modernism, and in such a small country! Cambodgia [sic] was a wellcome [sic] rest. We spent twelve days in Angkor: exuberant forest, astounding ruins, smiling, slow indolent people. After all, I feel happier in backward countries than in over industrialized ones. Here in France, the situation is worrying. The students' rising of last may/june still lingers on, there is a lot of anarchism among the young. On the other hand, surprisingly the capital seems to play against de Gaulle! It's all very strange and quite uncomfortable. Nobody can guess what the near future will be made of. Let's hope for the best. For you and Gladys, a very happy new year and our friendly souvenir* Suzanne
