CORRESPONDENTS'
Eric Gillett
This series really began a week ago with the reading by Eve Morganti of a selection from letters written by Queen Victoria at Balmoral. There are to be seven more broadcasts, the good correspondents chosen including Keats, Jane Austen , Horace Wal pole, Scott, and Walter H. Page , American Ambassador in London during the war. Each of the broadcasts will be given by Eric Gillett. The extracts from Lamb to be read tonight have been chosen to show him as the courageous fighter rather than the delightful essayist, the man who throughout his life faced misfortune cheerfully.
Eric Gillett , who was broadcasting ten years ago, has given a number of talks since 1935 under the title 'These My Friends He last broadcast in the early summer, giving seven talks under the title ' These Made Me Laugh'.
