Gives an account of conferences he attended in France where he encountered an interest in his original approach to fluid mechanics and accoustics. States that he cherishes a desire to establish a true scientific collaboration with foreign scientists. (Three photographs are attached)

Thanks Crook for sending them a book, which apparently tells of the school days of a character called Laura.
ALS from Alistair and Catriona Renwick, Auckland, New Zealand.

Notes his pleasure at Crook's appraisal of Goodman. Refers to a new Principal appointed to Catriona's school, reorganised to detrimental effect, demoting and docking salaries en route. This breached New Zealand labour law. Catriona (his wife) has been involved in the legal backlash that has resulted and is now exhausted as a consequence. They send good wishes for Crook's forthcoming birthday.
