Rotblat encloses a set of papers presented at the Conference, along with the minutes (not present).

"Despite some differences of opinion with our Russian colleagues, we have achieved some measures of agreement. On the whole the Conference was very successful. We certainly got to grips with the problems much more than at Pugwash."

Rotblat's letter is typed on a letterhead for the "Second Pugwash Conference of Nuclear Scientists", with a long list of eminent Canadian sponsors. Among them is George P. Gilmour, President, McMaster University.
