Scope and content
Typescript correspondence between Beaton's secretary (most likely Jim Benton) and Benjamin Epstein, National Director of the American Anti-Defamation League. Concerns an item printed in Ed Sullivan's column in the 'New York Daily News', in which Sullivan states that the Anti-Defamation League has still not cleared Beaton after the publication of a drawing several years previously. Epstein writes that the League does not presume to 'clear' or 'not clear' Beaton. To their knowledge, Beaton has done nothing anti-Semitic since that drawing was published.
