(Wolf, 1924-1998, Playwright, Screenwriter and Writer on Porcelain)
Typed Letter Signed to the writer Aubrey Hodes
saying that he has the greatest respect and regard for Buber's philosophical opinions and I have been much influenced by them. But I feel the way in which Buberian philosophy is being broadened and generalized is misdirected. This, of course, is not the responsibility of Buber whose work stands and is what it is. But then Buber is not any society or institute formed in his name..., 1 side 4to., 8-10 Piccadilly Arcade, London, 26th June

Background
Mankowitz wrote a number of books on porcelain published by André Deutsch, where Bentley was a director, in particular a transcript of the 1779 Wedgwood and Bentley catalogue. Bentley's illustrations include 'Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats', 1939, and G. Mikes' 'How to Be an Alien', 1946. In 1962, Mankowitz introduced his friend Cubby Broccoli to Harry Saltzman, holder of the film rights to James Bond, as Broccoli had told him that he wanted to make the Bond series his next film project. Broccoli and Saltzman began co-producing the first Bond film, Dr No, for which Mankowitz was hired as one of the screenwriters. After viewing early rushes, Mankowitz feared that the film would be a disaster and damage his reputation and insisted on having his name removed from the film's credits. He later collaborated on the screenplay for the 1967 Bond movie, Casino Royale. Aubrey Hodes is known for his writings on Martin Buber, including Encounter with Martin Buber, and is also a co-editor of the 22-volume critical edition of Buber's works
