He begins by offering to 'oppose anybody' in a debate that Mrs Roscoe is organising at the Society of Women Journalists. 'But you should bear in mind that the Crime Club is a purely commercial affair - run entirely by Messrs Collins the publishers of 48 Pall Mall - and I gather very privately that writers of detective stories & rival publishers are not exactly welcoming its appearance. Perhaps under the circumstances it would not be politic to have anything to do with it. For your own information Sir Godfrey Collins is its onlie begetter and I believe that the Headmaster of Eton Dr Abington is "reading" for him.' He suggests two 'good people' whom Mrs Roscoe might invite: J. J. Connington 'Victor Gollancz can put you in touch with him' and M. R. K. Burge 'writes excellent thrillers under the name of Milford Kennedy'. Straus concludes: 'If you should find somebody more violently opposed to thrillers than myself don't hesitate to let him or her 'open' the opposition & I will speak afterwards - but I am certainly at your disposal'. Typed Note: 1p. 4to. He is 'happy and honoured' to be a guest of her 'Society' on 11 October 1945. 'Is there any particular aspect of fiction or biography you would like me to speak about Or just an informal ramble about anything that comes into my head I will do whatever you say.'
