Dear Miss West,

This is just a reminder that
you thought you might be able to begin
the pamphlet about this time. The
first six pamphlets will be appearing
in the middle of next month, so I should
be overjoyed if you were able to start
yours soon.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Miss West,

I do hope that your eyes are
better and that you have been able to start on
the pamphlet. Arrangements have now been made
with Macmillan's for publication and the first
six are ready to set up. Could I persuade you
in the meanwhile to do for us an 1,100 word
leafletlet with some such title as "Bonfire of Books"
on this oppression of literature in Germany?
It would be circulated by the National Book
Council with the help of booksellers.

One such leaflet has already come
out by Hugh Walpole on "The Freedom of Books"
and I am asking the Poet Laureate to write
another on the idea of freedom in English litera-
ture. We could let you have plenty of cuttings
and material, and the fee we formally offer is
£8.8.Od. I should be very glad indeed if you
felt able to do this before you complete your
pamphlet.
