Dear Mr. Van Thal,

Many thanks for your letter of Mar. 28th.

I was most interested to see your new
publication. John Dickson Carr tells me that he
is picking out one or two letters and sending you
copies thereof. In the meantime I enclose a typed
copy of a letter that is so applicable to the
situation of today that it might interest you to
include it in your forthcoming book. It is written
by my father on October 10th 1947, from Washington,
to Sir John Robinson the Manager and Editor of the
London Daily News.

If there is anything else that I can do
you have but to let me know.
