In this series are three letters written in May and July 1952. Two are typed and one handwritten. There are also loose pages from his diary starting on the Moloney family's departure from Boston in April 14, 1952 with the last entry dated December 11, 1952. There are references to their near disaster off Hilo on the way to Japan. The last item in this series is the jewel in the crown - Dr. Moloney's journal. The entries date from January 16, 1953 to February 27, 1954. Unfortunately there are gaps where he did not make entries. The numbered pages between 195 and 200 are missing. Dr. Moloney literally wrote from cover to cover in his journal. Glued or taped onto the journal pages are 165 black and white glossy photographs (there is a total of 166 photographs in this series) and variety of other items (business cards, invitations, clippings, announcements, a golf score card, yen, postcards, driver's permits.) The typescript translation of an article from The Chugoku Press, 20 September 1953 originally placed between pages 101 and 102 has been removed in placed in L-velopes. A folded map of Japan remains in the back of the journal.

The physical condition of the journal is mixed. The photographs are in good condition and the ink on the pages remains clear and crisp. The spine is broken and the pages are becoming detached. The tape and news clippings have yellowed and become brittle.

A good summary of the journal was written by Dr. Moloney on September 16, 1985.

"I kept a "Journal," sort of a diary for 1952, 53 up until March 1954. I incorporated a lot of photographs of various VIP types, (including Joe Dimagio[sic]Dimaggio, Marilyn Munroe[sic]Monroe and Eleanor Roosavelt [sic]Roosevelt).It is a rahter [sic]rather personal Journal with reading notes, etc. included. I [sic] It reflects also the frustrations and criticisms of the program as I saw it . . . "

The pages with photographs and the number of photographs are as follows:

* Dr. H. Grant Taylor giving his farewell speech.
** Marilyn Monroe, Joe Dimaggio and Bobby Brown

Diary entry May 22, 1952 (loose pages) has one small photograph.
