Notes and topics

The memorial will be taken care of immediately after Christmas, as cards are still coming in at the rate of a hundred a day. Gollancz believes that they might be able to "get the thing" to the Prime Minister on Dec. 28 and publish a letter the following Monday. An exclusive letter to The Times has been proposed, with the appeal in support of COBSRA [Council of British Societies for Relief Abroad] in the general press. The letter to The Times should be signed by the five sponsors, Gollancz and Eleanor Rathbone. He encloses a draft, and asks if BR will sign it, and if alterations are needed. Many other hundreds of signatories are needed and will be grouped by Gollancz into a dozen categories in a carefully considered layout.

For the memorial document, see record 68596.
