*Aga Khan III (1877-1957). Typed letter signed, Hotel Ritz, Paris, 23rd October 1952, to Mrs. Schuster talking of the business side of his autobiography which he would be very pleased to let Mr. Schuster handle, saying that he wrote many books when he was younger but would need some good editorial help and assistance at the highest level 'with historical and literary background and an interpretation of the higher philosophy of Islam and our mystical thought to the West', then explaining his rough outline for the autobiography, but deferring these thoughts to the advice and assistance of the publishers who work on the project, concluding 'I am going to be absolutely honest and frankly admit the two great mistakes of my life. First I did not believe that the first world war would take place, although young I knew most of the people who were then in power. Secondly, my still greater mistake is when I was hoodwinked by the lies Hitler told me in believing that he would never go to war. All this I would like to bring out with "mea culba", but also by showing up how liers and dishonest persons can mislead those who are incapable of believing such outrageous falsehood', 2 pp., 4to (1)
