PATRICIA RUSSELL TO BBC / DONALD STEPHENSON, 17 MAY 1945
BRACERS 113620. TLS(X). BBC Written Archives
Proofread by K. Blackwell


Grosvenor Lodge Babraham Road
Cambridge
May 17 1945

Dear Sir,

My husband has asked me to let you know that he has no objection to being included in your series of “portraits” to be broadcast in Hindustani, or to the choice of Mr. E.M. Forster to write the script.1 Though Mr. Forster is an old friend, it is perhaps regrettable that they have met only once or twice in the last fifteen years, during which time, he feels, he may have changed. He would in any case be very happy to see Mr. Forster, and if you will let us have his present address he will try to arrange to see him while he is in London early in June.

Yours truly,
<signed> Patricia Russell.
