TitleLetter from Thomas Gold to Professor R A Lyttleton FRS, Institute of Astronomy, Madingley Road, Cambridge, England
Date27 September 1978
DescriptionGold states he is soory about not supporting Lyttleton's condidate, though perhaps if he had known him in more recent times he would have, but his acquaintance with him in historical times does not make the case.

Lyttleton may be right about the Observatory Magazine eidtors, as Gold cannot even get an acknowledgement of receipt of his article after two letters and seven weeks. He thought Lyttleton might like to know. Says perhaps he trod on a sensitive toe there; and since the hero of the story is abroad, they probably cannot even tell the time of day in that office.
