I wag genuinely pleased to learn that Miss Wolf is preparing a biographical sketch of Hiss Pfefferkora for the April issue of the Alumnae laga^iae* this will not only be interesting in Itself but will also serve to stimulate interest in the project as a whole. I must ask. however, that aiay reference to my own professional career should be brief and should be. incorporated in the text- of your report. A few "highlights" are enciosed in the hope that they may be helpful to you. . „ I am firmly convinced that if an extended biographical sketch of SJ were to appear in this particular issue and at this particular juncture that it might jeopardise the excellent relationship which now exists between the .co-authors. I wish I could give the reasons for this belief but I am quite sure that you will understand that it would not be wise to set them dowa In writing and that you will grant ©y re~ guest* as a personal favour. Hies Pfefferkora and I have exchanged letters and have got off to a good start in double harness. I sent her a copy of the general principles which I submitted to you in my letter of lovember 1SX 28 and have recently received the following responses"! wag much ..interested in your reply (to Mrs Brack) and am in substantial agreement with all of it".
