Summary
Thanking him for a letter expressing his interest in Naipaul's work, but remarking that it would "be wrong for me to agree to having the African section of In A Free State published on its own. Out of its content this section would have a considerably different meaning from the one I intended; and much of the point of the book I wrote would be lost."
