DescriptionPaper reference code: A.82

Acknowledges receipt of letter of 22 June and referee's comments [see RR/W/6/36]. Agrees that the mathematics 'could hardly be described as rigid', but argues this is to be expected in a paper on this subject. Believes the paper's methodology to be 'novel'. Asks for the paper to be withdrawn.
