Scope and content
Concerning the election to a professorship at Oxford. The approach to Chandra came as a complete surprise to him; he is not planning to leave Chicago. Professor A.E. Green says that his (normally reliable) informant had been 'quite explicit' that Chandra 'wished to move to Oxford permanently'. Green insisted that Hosie be informed that it was on his advice that Blackwell and Sciama attempted to set up the professorship. They apologise for the 'wild goose chase'.
