SNOW

(Baron Charles Percy, 1905-1980, Writer)
Typed Letter Signed to Dr G. Johnson,
concerning his project, and telling him that he believes that at the moment Canon F. W. Dillistone of Oriel College, Oxford is working on a full length biography of Raven... Also the Bishop of Durham, who knew Raven well. I am not certain whom you should apply to for Raven's interest in natural history, though there must be several... my relationship with Raven was very far from amicable. I don't think this was especially my fault, except for the mere reason of my existence..., 1 side 8vo., 85 Eaton Terrace, SW1, 18th March 1971, together with a carbon copy of his letter requesting the information, 26th February

Background
The letter refers to Professor Charles Earle Raven (1885-1964, Master of Christ's College, Cambridge, for over a decade). He was the person on whom Snow based the character of Paul Jago, the unsuccessful candidate for master, in possibly his best novel, 'The Masters'.
