Irving replies:

INTERESTING letter; your correction re Rakosi is appreciated and I will amend all new editions accordingly.

2. On Crozier, my own instinct is that Crozier is wrong, whatever Venona says. You can incidentally check the Venona files in the original on the FBI website. Certainly Hopkins was not helping Moscow at the beginning of the war; he did however make several journeys to Moscow, and he may have been converted during these. At the time the conversion would have seemed less momentous than later during the Cold War.

I WELCOME all letters with corrections and comments on my
books; when new editions are published, we will endeavour
to incorporate these, although it will usually take some
time before the corresponding pdf file is updated in our
“free

section.
