RICHARD DIMBLEBY A letter from the "Voice of the BBC", responding to a previous letter asking for help from a charity, saying that he gets so many requests that he must be very selective Typed letter signed: "Richard/Dimbleby", in blue ink, 8x10. September 21, 1956. In part: "Dear Mr. Grant, My secretary passed me your letter of August 9th on my return from Spain this week. I would very much like to have helped the club which serves such a useful purpose but I am afraid that I have so many demands of this kind that I can only give financial support to a very limited number of charities. I am so sorry. Yours sincerely". Richard Dimbleby (1913-1965) was an English broadcaster and journalist, and was often considered the "Voice of the BBC". Originally beginning his news career with the Richmond and Twickenham Times, he eventually joined BBC as a radio news reporter in 1936, becoming their first war correspondent. During World War II, he flew on 20 air raids, and was the first to report of the Belsen concentration camp liberation in 1945. After the war, Dimbleby became one of BBC television's leading news commentators, and is best remembered for commentating on historical events such as Elizabeth II's coronation, JFK's funeral, and Winston Churchill's funeral.
