Scope and content
Thanks FH for the 'delightful weekend' and the 'two thrillers', Ossian's ride and Frontiers of astronomy. Is praying that FH will be granted 'at least twenty years beyond the normal span to go on astronomming and writing books and plays'. Asks if FH would become a Director of a non-profit-making company limited by guarantee, 'Theatre Foundations', which will try to create theatre specifically for children. Discusses details of the plans for producing the stage play for children eventually titled Rockets in Ursa Major.
