BR writes to Nathan on behalf of the Pugwash Movement, explaining what the Movement is and outlining its activity.

"This Movement has been in the past mainly financed by funds of American origin. It is now desired that the British section of the Movement should be able to rely on funds of British origin, on the grounds that in any international movement it is best that each national component part should be self-financing." He explains that the majority of the funds go towards the fares of the conference delegates.

"I do not know whether the Foundation of which you are Chairman could or would entertain the idea of helping us, but in any case I should be most grateful if you could advise us on the quarters to which we could turn in the hope of raising funds."

A draft of this letter is enclosed, with a note at the top of the letter saying, "Copied and sent 29 Sept. '60".
