Scope and content
Glad that S will proof read for him. Young mathematicians in Cambridge are powerful mathematicians but lacking in style and culture. Will do book first then undertake the Key, for which he will read proofs once himself. Cannot omit any examples or add any unless at the end in the form of miscellaneous sets. Recent College and University papers contain many pretty mechanical problems but they too difficult for elementary book. Has studied government science papers. Asks S to look through some of them for new questions. Discusses problems of printing good shaded diagrams.
