Scope and Content
Three signed letters from Arthur Koestler to Kenneth Cohen, one of which contains a copy of a letter from Koestler to a woman named 'Anita'.

The letter to Anita relates to the sale of her coffee shop, to the RUSI Journal, to the preface of the Danube edition of The Scum of the Earth, and to Rüdiger von Etzdorf, who helped Koestler to escape North Africa and return to the UK at the beginning of the Second World War.
