2pp., 12mo. Good, on lightly-aged paper. He begins by enquiring whether the recipient is 'the J. R. Clark who appeared recently on TV', whom he 'would love to meet'. 'In 1934 my two aunts were in Germany and wrote letters home. They were keen Nazis and my older aunt met Goering & Goebbles. My grandparents and younger aunt were given luncheon by the Mussolinis when in Rome.' He was 'rivetted' by the television programme, as he was 'transcribing the letters sent to their mother by my aunts when the programme was broadcast'. He would like to present Clark with a copy of his autobiography, 'which tells of all this and of my friendship with the Mosleys'. He ends in the hope that Clark will telephone so that they can arrange a meeting. Innes-Smith is a voluminous writer on antiquarian and topographical matters, but there does not appear to be any record of his having published an autobiography.
