Dear Sirs
The Anthony Summers allegations that I might have been “Maurice Bishop” have been the subject of two libel actions. The first, in the U.S., was settled in my favor early in 1986. The second, in London, was settled in my favor in October.
In the name of journalistic fairness I ask that you print the above information. If you do, I will consider the matter closed.
If you do not, I intend to bring suit for defamation. My London solicitor assures me that with the two victories behind me a suit against you would certainly prosper, and quickly.
I look forward to hearing from you.
