Dear Gilbert,

I am now returning the letters you sent me, as I have had copies typed. I have kept almost all of yours to me. Many are interesting, and I hope you will let me put a selection of both yours and mine in my autobiography.1 They contain nothing that it would be indiscreet to publish, and in any case it would be not till I am dead.

Yours ever
B.R.
