Cameron’s letter ‘to the convener of the Musician’s Group of the Left Book Club’ has been passed to him. ‘I do not think there are any members of the Group that have sufficient drawing power to make it worth your while bringing them all the way from London.’ With regard to ‘stars’ he advises him to ‘write direct to anyone you want. If you write to a number of them you are more than likely to get one or two acceptances. I am sure Mr. A.K. Holland could make you out a list of names and I can add the addresses if you don’t know them.’ He concludes: ‘It is not difficult to get artists to perform for Spain Relief these days but in most cases I think that such people prefer not to be approached through a third party.’ TWO: TLS to ‘Mr. Cameron 9 January 1939. 1p 4to. ‘I shall be very happy indeed to come to Liverpool for your concert on February 15th.
