Letter from Thomas Gold to Professor A Unsold, Institut fur Theoretische Physik, Olshausenstrasse, Neue Universitat, Haus 13, 23 Kiel, Fed. Rep. Germany Gold notes that in Unsold's book he discusses the pulsars, briefly, as if Hewish had clearly discovered neutron stars. States this was by no means his view then, and the enclosed reprints will make that point. In fact for a year the hypothesis of rotating neutron stars was quite ignored. It was only when the Crab pulsar showed four predictions to be correct, that this story was generally believed. States it should also be said that Jocelyn Bell (now Burnell) was the principal discoverer of the pulsars. 19 July 1978
