Shields writes as Vice President and General Manager of the Times-World Corporation of Roanoke, Virginia. He mentions enclosing a column (which is not included here) from the Washington Daily News "which referred to the picture-taking incident at Washington and Lee." This incident occurred immediately following the sudden death of Senator Alben Barkley while delivering the keynote speech at the 1956 Mock Convention.
