Engle has written at the top of the page “Dear Charlie, You’ve been vindicated, Paul” and marked Miller’s criticism that Wilson had not given proper acknowledgement of his use of Foster’s writings in his new book. Although Wilson had reviewed The Rungless Ladder in the “New Yorker,” he seemed vague on his use of material from it in The Patriotic Gore to the dismay of Miller, Engle, and other scholars, as well as Foster.
