Scope and Content

Has received a letter from Charig refusing any test on the Archaeopteryx fossil. They must now publish a paper 'presenting prime facie evidence that the fossil is a forgery'. Encloses a draft of such a paper, and edited version of his earlier paper. Is waiting for Wickramasinghe to write some parts, or to at least collect material for them. Asks FH to add his comments. Asks where they should publish. Thinks they should use the press as a tool for uncovering the truth.
