A letter written by Theodore Miller dated December 15, 1976 that reads:  Mr. Warren . d’Azevedo, Professor Department of Anthropology University of Nevada Reno, Nevada 89507  Dear Prof. d’Azevedo;  I have been to several major book stores in San Francisco, only to find that your book “American Indian and Black Students at the University of Nevada, Reno” is not available. I would appreciate it very much if you would send me a copy.  The September issue of “The Alumni News” listed your book value at Two Dollars and Fifty Cents ($2.50). I am enclosing a check for Three Dollars ($3.00) to cover the cost of mailing.   I have contributed annually to the UNR Alumni Association for a number of years. My wife and I drive to Reno occasionally and I usually try to visit the University. On my next visit I will stop in and say hello to you. We should have a very interesting visit.   Sincerely yours,  Signed Theodore H. Miller Class of 1930  P.S. I am listed in the 1st Edition, 1975-1976, Volume 1 of Who’s Who Among Black Americans. Also listed in the 1951 edition of Who’s Who on the Pacific Coast. Also in the 1957 edition of Who’s Who in Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity.
