On verso of Millard's letter. "I think no general rule can be given as to how far one should avow unconventional opinions if the avowal is going to give pain. When I was young, I concealed my rejection of religion from my family, but I could not continue to do so after I was grown up. I think one must ask oneself whether there is any public reason for avowing one's opinion on this or that. Whether this is the case depends upon the nature of one's work."

26476

"I have been greatly moved by your letter and I am deeply appreciative of it."

[Good letter re anti-nuclear movement; BR quotes Dylan Thomas.] "There has never been a moment when men and women could be so proud to devote themselves to a cause. It is the cause of human decency, of our civilization, of all that is best in the human condition. The perspective is a vast one and I, for one, shall work and strive to the last iota of my strength in the name of conscience. Your letter reminds me of the nobility of the task."
