BR is informed of the "... case of Djamila Bouhired, a 22-year old Algerian girl condemned to death by a military tribunal for complicity in terrorist acts." Also present, on the same page, is an appeal to the President of the French Republic asking him to grant a reprieve for Bouhired.

The appeal is signed by Ritchie Calder, L. John Collins, and Benn W. Levy.

BR is asked to sign the appeal. The letter also refers to an enclosed (see record 65511) pamphlet, which outlines Bouhired's lawyer's defence plea.
