Large sprawling signature ‘Richard Acland’ above typed name ‘Sir Richard Acland’. After stating that he is sending a blank cheque for the latest issue of Books and Bookmen he makes ‘an urgent appeal for help’ regarding a book titled ‘Four Years Hard Labour’ ‘by the financial editor or advisor of one of the London papers’ and I’m almost sure of the Evening News’. He is quotiing it ‘as an authority’ in ‘a book which I am publishing . when I say “I am publishing” I mean it literally. I’ve ordered 5000 copies of THE NEXT STEP direct from the printer and shall have to sell them without benefit of publisher’s travellers’. He describes the book as ‘a religio-political analysis of our total social distress; 100% Socialist but disrespectful to Marx; seriously religious but contemptuous of the leaders of the institution Church or Churches; but most contemptuous of all of the intellectual atmosphere breathed in and out in the Senior Common Rooms of our Universities which actually is last two words underlined the social sickness from which the Western World is suffering’. He will have ‘a better idea of what you might be able to do with this book of mine’ once he has seen ‘Books and Bookmen’: ‘But if you have any ideas about what I could do to help you to help my book to be known do write and tell me.’ He lays out the plans for publication ‘subject of course to there being no sharp deterioration in industrial working’. Autograph postscript: ‘Oh dear; just heard the strike is on. Probably add 1 1/2 weeks to first & 3 weeks to second date!’ 8 February 1974; Sprydon, Broadclyst, Exeter. unknown
