Levitas may not publish BR's Rand School lectures because they will be part of a book. (The book never appeared.) BR wrote for The Nation because he disagreed with Louis Fischer's article on the subject of India and the failure of the Cripps mission. He has not felt the need to reply to any of the New Leader's articles because "he thinks you have handled the Indian situation a great deal more intelligently than any other left-wing paper". (This view of BR's was published by Levitas in the New Leader, 10 Oct. 1942 (B&R C42.09a).)

He found nothing to disagree with in Harry Paxton Howard's article. Patricia encloses (not present) a statement on India for American Forum of the Air next Sunday (11 October). BR hopes to write letters and articles "for a great many different papers" on India.
