Congratulates Mitton on his life of FH. Has experienced first-hand the tensions between (some) theoretical astronomers and observer-cum-astronomers as are described in Mitton's book. It is not confined to Cambridge, but is a British phenomenon. He attended the first Lunar Sciences Conference in Houston in Jan. 1970, at which FH was the after-dinner speaker. He encloses a transcript of FH's talk. See 6/18/2

Thanking FH for yesterday's meeting, has thought over what FH told him, "and I must say the position is very difficult". Everybody is trying to achieve the same ends but all have different opinions on the best way to do so. McCrea will take a few more days to think about matters and will write again, fairly briefly, and hopes to talk to FH again in a few weeks time. Thanks FH for the "delightful lunch party".

Thanking FH for his hospitality yesterday, and apologising for arriving late. Would be interested to hear what Westwater thinks about 'some of our Chilton problems'. Is writing to him independently telling him he's written to Gordon Black in Manchester.
