ONE: 27 October 1974. 1p, foolscap 8vo. The letter is a response to a query from Dosse regarding possible reviewers of Devlin's book 'Too Proud to Fight'. Devlin begins by stating that he has been receiving copies of 'Books and Bookmen' and wondered where they were 'coming from'. 'I have been enjoying it very much and it is only laziness that has prevented me from taking out a subscription. I should be most grateful if you would do it for me and send me the bill. / I am afraid that I have no ideas of my own about reviewers. The subject is off my usual beat and I do not know who the experts are. But Miss Elizabeth Knight in the O.U.P., who are the publishers, is very likely to have some good ideas. / On your list there is Michael Howard [the Conservative politician] who would be superb if he would do it; failing him, H. V. Hodson might be interested in theory.' In a postscript he writes that he has received Dosse's second letter, and is 'delighted that Anthony West is doing it'.

'Thank you so much for sending me an advance copy of Anthony West's review of my book and for inviting me to review Cecil King's new volume.' He does not think it 'wise' for him to accept Dosse's 'kind invitation' regarding the King book, as he will be 'snowed under with things' he has already undertaken to do when he returns to England in May.
