Scope and content
C's view that on social conditions, education and religion in the US should get specially written books for British public, but on many other subjects right book already been written and might be able to get it produced in Britain. For standard history the 2 volume Morison and Commager supplies just what is wanted. Can C suggest right sort of book on subjects like transportation, industry, agriculture, foreign policy, American literature, labour organisation, organisation of American science, historical geography of US, and others for which there first-rate American book which should be produced in Britain. Subjects for which ought to get special books written for English readers: universities, religious organisations, social life, American newspapers and journalism, sport - suggestions for American writers welcome. Not likely to proceed very fast but wanted C to know what they have in mind.
