Gollancz thanks Patricia for the cheque, and mentions a receipt will be sent. Stokes will be just in time for the meeting. Gollancz feels that Storm Jameson will refuse, and calls Vera Brittain "too pacifist". Olaf Stapledon is mentioned as a "charming speaker", and that he has been in Holland recently. H.D. Walston has been in Poland and is an agricultural expert, and has written an article on Germany in this week's Spectator.

Walston may not be "very effective" as he feels that things aren't "too bad" in Poland. Gollancz mentions Margaret Lloyd from the Yugoslav Emergency Committee. He refers to the "extraordinary contrast" between Oxford and Cambridge in the Memorial. (Apparently the Memorial was now published.)
