SIR,--1 was not entirely sure whether the article en- titled

'From Here to Obscenity' in your issue of January 20 was a criticism of a pamphlet by Messrs. Allsop and Pitman or simply an extract from Alan Bricn's memoirs. There appeared to be some con- fusion between the two, However, I was delighted to learn that Mr. Brien is such a progressive fellow —against the licensing laws, bureaucracy, censorship, the House of Lords, the immortality of the soul, and the National Theatre; and I can only hope that his translation to the Sunday Telegraph will provide him with even greater opportunities for the furtherance of these numerous causes which he has at heart.— You rs faithfully, ANTHONY HARTLEY 2 West bourne Park.aiad, W2
