Rotblat thanks BR for sending him the letter from Topchiev, and is glad to learn that it has been agreed to hold the conference in Moscow. Rotblat asks BR his thoughts on holding the meeting in Moscow, and if he will be able to attend it.

"Not knowing what your reaction would be I put down an evasive reply in the letter which I enclose in hope that you will agree on it and sent it to Topchiev. If you don't will you please perhaps change the letter" (not present).

Rotblat also asks BR to sign the enclosed letter to the Home Office regarding visas for Skobeltzyn and Pavlinchenko, who will be attending the December meeting (not present).
