BR drafted this telegram in his handwriting on Hubel's telegram to him (see record 7031). It was in response to a request for an opinion to publish on Herman Kahn's On Thermonuclear War. An ad was to go in the Washington Post on 19 March to counter James R. Newman's "diatribe" against the book (in the Scientific American). The backers of the book were Harrison Brown, Max Lerner, Herbert Humphrey and Henry Kissinger.

"You have some manuscripts of mine which Erni was contemplating illustrating. I have heard nothing further about them. If you have no matured plans for their publication, I should be grateful if you would return them to me, as I can get them published elsewhere."

[The manuscripts BR mentions are unidentified—but it is not too early for "The Queen of Sheba" project.]
