As Rotblat is at a meeting in Montreux, Lindop writes that there have been suggestions to approach Charlie Chaplin about the Pugwash Conference to interest him, and perhaps get some financial support from him. "This is badly needed for the European group if we are not to be entirely financed by the U.S.A. Professor Rotblat felt it would be better if you were willing to write to Chaplin to ask him to contact Professor Rotblat in Montreux, which is very near Vevey where Chaplin lives."

Lindop encloses a letter to sign and send to Chaplin, as well as Pugwash letterhead in case BR wished to rewrite the letter (not present).
