Sir: Two points of correction re- garding Constantine Fitzgibbon's interesting piece on Whittaker Chambers (26 September). The Odyssey of a Friend was published by Putnam. not the National Review (although there was an earlier edition, privately printed by William Buckley. NR's editor); and Chambers's last work was entitled Cold Friday. after his Maryland farm. not Cold Harbour.
