Description

Miller records a letter to friend Major John Healy who is in Vietnam. Tape starts with an advertisement for Millers Beer and greetings from family and friends, including John's parents. Miller then talks of general family news; how informative John's tapes are given the lack of press coverage of the war; RSL reps wanting medals for Australian soldiers; the new Prime Minister Harold Holt.
