Rotblat thanks BR for his letter and cheque of £140, including BR's own contribution.

Rotblat asks BR if he would be willing to write an article for the New Scientist regarding H-bomb tests, which they would like written before the next H-bomb test takes place. It would appear in the 28 March issue and be needed by 15 March. "The A.S.A. Are collaborating with the New Scientist in the sense that every fourth issue contains an atomic science section which is prepared by members of the A.S.A. In the first of these issues (I am sending you a copy of this by separate mail), I wrote an article, which deals only with the radiation hazards, should be followed by another dealing with the political arguments against h-bomb tests. I am sure there is no other person who could write such an article better and produce a greater effect on the public than yourself."
