David Irving Esq 20 October 1997
Dear Mr Irving I wonder if I could possibly come and see you. I've become interested in the various "bans" to which you are subject - in Europe and elsewhere. The BBC and a number of other European broadcasters have comissioned me to make a series dealing wtih this question. Broadly speaking, my own position is the one adopted by Christopher Hitchens in his VANITY FAIR piece. But I would like to talk to you in much greater detail about your own views on the matter - and your experience. Could we perhaps meet for lunch? Yours sincerely Nicholas Fraser [stamp: ANSWERED 22 OCT 1997] | |||||||||
81 Duke Street London W1 31 October 1997 Dear David Thanks very much for seeing me. I forgot to ask for the dossier you found in Canada. But I feel I need to do a great deal more reading before seeing you again. Yours sincerely Nicholas Fraser Commissioning Editor, Storyville |
