        Well, the copy at work has provenance in this respect, so I shan't
be getting it... It contains a copy of a hostile review rubbishing most of
the calculations, and a letter from an archaeologist in America to an
English one whose name may be known to people, Glyn Daniel, saying they
need to consult an astronomer about this and see how plausible it is. This
may explain why this copy was then sent to Harold Jeffreys... But what he
told Daniel I sadly don't know. Yours,
                                       Jon
