Mosley, the Head of Overseas Talks and Features, asks BR to contribute an introductory talk for a series on the theme, "The Story of Colonisation". BR could be especially useful as Mosley hopes the introduction will set the standard for the study. The task "can best be undertaken by one who combines pre-eminence as a philosopher with your own firm grasp of history." If BR cares to accept, the production will fall to Roger Cary. Mosley encloses (not present) an outline of the series and probable contributors.
