Scope and content
Believes that there is 'no one alive that has a more profound knowledge of astronomy and the universe' than FH. But is most interested in his interpretations of 'human folly' and his 'philosophical gems'. Asks how the human population can be brought down to a 'sane and safe' level, and whether there is 'any hope for eliminating the aggressive characteristic from future mankind'. Also asks if any of FH's works were published only in England, as he wishes to 'make up a complete library' of FH's 'literary works'.
