MOSLEY
(Sir Oswald, 1896-1960, Politician and Fascist Leader)
Fine Typed Letter Signed to Leonard Henderson but addressed to “Mr Hastings” which is his address,
saying that his “present position is described on page 461 of ‘MY LIFE’... which you appear to have read as well as ‘THE GREATER BRITAIN’. The method of working as an isolated individual has made it easier for me to circulate my ideas over television, radio etc. in Britain, America and other countries. The movement I founded after the war - Union Movement - is conducted quite independently by other people who are old friends of mine... They or Mosley Secretariat - who occupy the same building - would always be glad to supply you with any information you require. I am asking M.S. to send you a few of my recent broadsheets which go all over the world. I note with interest that you may be in France... and hope I may not be away at that time... kindly let me know in advance, it will be a pleasure for us to see you both here if we are at home...”, 2 sides 8vo., 1 Rue des Laace, Orsay 91, France, 29th January
