Scope and content
Enclosing copies of 'the figures you asked for' (not present). It is difficult for 'us' (i.e. Geoffrey and Margaret Burbidge) to say much more about the location of the proposed Institute. It would be ideal to have no, or very loose, university connections. It is important that FH displays his true attitudes to the matter, otherwise they will 'believe that the Institute is being set up largely to supplement the university facilities and just to keep you in England. Those of us involved in it will know that other factors are much more important.'
