135137 | Creasey thanks BR for his letter; his feelings on international affairs are much the same as BR's, but is not convinced BR's way of going about his aim is the right one. He would like to see BR when he is next in London. |

One memorandum (7pp.) by Creasey is dated 1965/06/30, and arises from literature BR sent him and Has Man a Future? (Document no. 400640). The second memorandum (10pp., dated 1965/08/01) results from Creasey's discussion with BR , outlines actions to increase support of the BRPF (Document no. 400641).

135145 | The copy was donated by Diana Hendry, the former Diana McConomy, along with a clipping of her published interview with BR. A carbon copy of the letter is a record 92182. |
135146 | Tony Simpson, in sending the scanned letter on 7 September 2024, remarked that it was from the BRPF's Beatles file. The enclosures are two treatments of a proposed anti-war film involving the Beatles. The earlier treatment, by Emanuel Litvinoff, is 5 typed pages; the second, more humorous, by an unknown author (but possibly Len Deighton), is 4 typed pages. The letter has no sender's name. That was Schoenman's custom. The letter refers to the author's "trip to Vietnam". Schoenman's report on his trip to Vietnam is dated 11 March 1966 and is included in War Crimes in Vietnam. The importance of the subject matter supports his authorship rather than that of any other employee of the BRPF. |
135147 | It is not known what Grelling's translation project was. Grelling had translated 5 of BR's books (OKEW, AMi, ABCR, OP and AMA) and was perhaps interested in translating his most recent one, An Inquiry into Meaning and Truth. Kurt Grelling and his wife, Greta, were murdered at Auschwitz, soon after their arrival on 18 September 1942. The letter is to be published in Julian Beecroft and Sheri Blaney, The Right of Passage, by the History Press.
