Three typed signed letters from Giles Gordon at Victor Gollancz to Peter Haining at The Hideaway, Mill Lane, Birch Green, Nr Colchester, Essex written on headed notepaper from 14 Henrietta Street, London W.C.2. The first letter dated 29th June, 1970 and consisting of about 115 words passes on information from Wilson about agreeing to his fee and saying he must read the stories first and that as he is 'frantically busy' he couldn't have it ready before September. Several notes on the letter in Haining's hand. The second letter addressed as above dated 21st September, 1970 consisting of about 92 words encloses a carbon of the foreword and says Wilson has asked for Haining to tone down the 'fulsome' remarks about him in the preface. The final letter addressed as above dated 30th September, 1970 and consisting of about 215 words in which Giles Gordon discusses a few changes and the dust jacket illustration and says it has now gone to the printers. He says he thinks it is impressive and is as good as 'The Wild Night Company' (Haining's book on Irish Terror Tales).

He became Editorial Director of the New English Library publishing house.
