To access the original letter, email the Ready Division.
BR sends the script for his obituary of George Bernard Shaw, but suggests it may not be complimentary enough. He reminds Matthews of his condition: that he does not want Shaw to do his obituary.
The script seems to be the first half of the Virginia Quarterly article on Shaw; the typescript is at RA 220.019000.

Dear Mr. Matthews,
I enclose the stuff on Shaw, which I hope will do, though perhaps you might think it not sufficiently complimentary. I understand that it will be confidential until he dies, and you may remember my condition: that he is not to do my obituary!
Yours sincerely,
