Walsh had direct contact with Lewis through an exchange of letters and in person interviews.  Initial contact between the two men occurred by post (Walsh's first letter dated November 30, 1945) during the preparation of an article, which would appear in the September 1946 issue of ''The Atlantic Monthly.''  Before the ''Atlantic'' article, little was known about C.S.
