1p., 4to. He is honoured to be asked to talk to the Napier Society (a military history society at Sandhurst), but is 'right in the middle of the Cambridge term', as a Fellow of Churchill College, and so must 'propose a subject which I have already talked about.' He suggests two topics: 'Trade Defence in World War II' and 'Some Reasons for Official History', in the last of which he tries 'to answer criticisms of that form of history and describe the sources I had used and the way I had worked when writing The War at Sea 1939-45'. He ends by warning Brett-James that his deafness makes him 'pretty hopeless in discussion unless I can have somebody to repeat questions to me. With most of my audiences this has worked satisfactorily, so I hope you can make arrangements to overcome my disabilitiy.' Brett-James's official title was 'Head of Department, War Studies & International Affairs, Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst'.
