Scope and content
Discussing possible arrangements for the appointment of FH to a Research Professorship at Manchester University. Thinks that an appointment on an honorary basis would be good. Is relieved that the press coverage has been relatively sympathetic, but the letters from Pippard and Alex Deer have not 'exactly endeared the University (Cambridge)' to him. The inaccuracies they contain must have been deliberate, particularly in Pippard's case. Sees no reason why he should not leave Cambridge at the end of the present academic year. Could they meet in person to discuss this?
