Scope and content
Writes regarding the matter of the Jewish boycott. Feels that the gesture Beaton outlines is worth a trial. Feels one must consider recent world events. Is surprised at Jewish influence on the book industry. Feels Beaton is being made a scapegoat for a general problem. Will meet his publicity manager Miss Lambert as soon as possible. Feels a change in sentiment will have to come from the Jews themselves. Thanks Beaton for his hospitality at the luncheon in the country.
