Nick writes, "In many ways, I think the attached letter that Brian Rust sent to a correspondent in 1943 neatly encapsulates his ardent, driven desire for compiling a jazz discography, as well as his dry sense of humour. I found this letter amongst a pile of wartime magazines I acquired several years ago. I have no idea how it found its way in between the now fragile, fraying pages but it seems particularly poignant now."
