JOHN GORDON Sus,—I am thrilled that Mr. Graham Greene has

decided to become my Boswell. To have the promise of immortality from a writer of such distinction is the most wonderful thing that has happened to me in all my humdrum life.

Of course I realise that such a task involving so much research can be tedious and burdensome. Would it be immodest of me to offer Mr. Graham Greene my help?

If he will choose a day convenient to him I'll be delighted to have him to dinner at which in quietness and comfort we can bare our souls and share our secrets.—Yours faithfully,
