Scope and content
D tempted by B's offer but not sure he best person to write book. Gives three other names: Dr F.R. Moulton, James Stokley and George W. Gray. Gray has wide reputation for popular articles in all fields of science. Moulton's position (Secretary of the American Association for the Advancement of Science) gives him unrivalled opportunities to keep in touch with American science. Stokley good lecturer and writer but his field is physical sciences. If still want D to write book it must be confined to physical sciences, large part of it be devoted to achievements of Americans in these sciences in recent years, emphasis not be on organisation of science. How long a book is wanted?
