Transcript
  • Enclosure – RG Letter of Response to Yvonne Cloud May 11 1938 care of Misters Cassell La Belle Sauvage Ludgate Hill E.S.2 Dear Madam, If your association were one for intellectual integrity, all writers being debarred from membership whose party or literary affiliations disproved their claim to this, it would be another matter. But of the few writers of proved integrity in this country not one, so far as I can see, appears on your list; and of those who do appear on your list many have either most of the names on your list I cannot associate with conspicuous integrity: many of them having politically committed themselves to views which contravene the elementary rules of literary truthfulness, or having persistently avoided committing themselves at all on any serious subject whatsoever. So, to be frank, I cannot feel the least sympathy, Yours sincerely Robert Graves
