Description
A letter sent to William Livingston (UT Vice President), William Cunningham (UT President), William Sutherland (Chair English), and Gerhard Fonken (UT Provost) defending James Sledd against allegations made by Alan Gribben and recently published in the _Daily Texan_. Sledd says Gribben accused him of provoking a fight in two letters to the English Department Executive Committee: Oct 1 and Sept 28(?). Kinneavy told Sledd that the Executive Committee recently discussed Gribben’s accusations. Sledd says Kurt Heinzelman put copies of Gribben’s letters in Sledd’s mailbox, and directly quotes a portion of this indirect correspondence. Sledd describes other letters that he's written about these accusations to the English faculty and to others, such as Dean Robert King and Vice Provost Gerhard Fonken.
Sledd describes several letters that he's written about the incident and worries about the damage these accusations might do to Tom Halliburton and Bob Wren.
