Scope and content
Apologises that their 'over-bright manager jumped the gun' by writing to FH, which Ian was going to do 'in due course'. The theatre has already got hold of £2 million for reconstruction work, but needs a further £500,000, for which they'll need a 'proper appeal document'. Asks FH to 'knock off' 40 or 50 words expressing his 'commendation' of their scientific side. Encloses a piece from Alex, Lord Todd (President, Royal Society) on the same subject, so that FH can 'steer clear of his actually wording'. Agree with Energy and extinction, as does Peter Carrington, to whom he gave a copy.
