Letter from Thomas Gold to Dr Tom Gehrels, Lunar Lab, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona Gold is interested in the topic of Gehrels proposed conference and book. Cannot say at present whether he can come to the conference, but would contribute to an article and/or talk on the subject 'Rotation and the Formation of Stars through a Degenerate Phase'. The enclosed article by Mestel discusses Gold's views briefly. 3 February 1977
