"I knew one man called Butcher. He was a classical scholar and he and a man called Lang jointly produced a translation of the Odyssey which had considerable success. But he was an Irishman and lived at Killarney so I doubt if he would be the same man that you write of."

"He is very sorry that you take exception to his methods and words, but from his experience of many years he has discovered that in order to make the public at large pay attention to his arguments he has to jar them out of their indifference or dislike. Nothing that he has said, however, has been a 'lie', as you term his remarks about Macmillan and Gaitskell (whose name, by the way you mispell), and other Heads of State."

"I will admit frankly that I regret having given my endorsement to the book by Freda Utley* that you mention. I had known her at a time when her views were more reasonable than they became later, and I did not quite realize how much she had changed, and, consequently, certain passages in the book failed to impress me as they should have done. Speaking generally, I think that vengeance is always to be deplored. I do not think it right to continue to hate Germany because of Hitler. It was this general point of view which made me think that there was more agreement between Freda Utley and me than was, in fact, the case. I am entirely with you in what you say about gas-chamber victims."

"I am interested by what you say about causality, but it is a tangled subject and one about which I find it difficult to be dogmatic."
