Scope and content
pp. 1-6: Notes and calculations regarding the structure of galaxies.
p. 7: Blank
pp. 8-9: Draft letter to Dr Barber. Discusses references in a recent book about life coming from space; one shouldn't keep referring to someone who longer stand by their earlier work, and it is hard to get publishers to include any references at all. Also discusses Dr Barber's 'gelatine-eating bacteria'. Isn't convinced about the connection with Venus. Is interested in the Russian idea that bacteria might be reproducing at heights upwards of 50km in the atmosphere. This item date 5 Mar. 1982
p.9: Draft of letter to Stanley. Congratulates him on his election to the Royal Society.
