Scope and content
Complains that FH's letter to the Times of 28 Nov. 1967 on the subject of foot and mouth disease has caused him 'some embarrassment', as he is the only virologist in the world bearing the name Hoyle. Suggests that they agree that he should refrain from writing letters to the Press about astronomical matters, and that FH should refrain from writing about virology.
