Dear Mr. Irving,
I have received two recent letters from you regarding the diary of Dr. Kremer from Auschwitz and whether you can have access to it. As you have described the library as a “Jewish-émigré propaganda library”, our director as a “particularly venomous journalist” (quoted at www.fpp.co.uk/docs/press/items/newstatesman100792) and a member of our executive committee as “an intellectual thug”, (quoted at www.fpp.co.uk/BoD/docs/HET121291) it is not felt appropriate that we allow you to use our resources.
Yours Sincerely
Colin Clarke
Librarian

Thank you. Please confirm for the purposes of this High Court action that you do have in your custody a copy of the diary of Dr Kremer referred to. You have of course liberally assisted the defendants in the High Court action of which you are aware.
