Henry Hardy, Oxford University Press, Walton Street, Oxford OX2 6DP.
Dear Henry,
Following our recent telephone conversation, herewith the first two, entirely revised chapters of MAKING NAMES. The length here has been reduced from 109 to 76 pages, at roughly the same average words/page ratio. A page-by-page guide precedes each chapter.
I hope that your new job will allow you enough time to read them carefully, as I would very much value any criticioms and remarks which you may be moved to make. I would be grateful if any points of detail could be noted on a separate sheet with page-references rather than on the typescript itself, and if you would then pass it on to Nicola Bion, assuming that you still think it worth pursuing. Is she a philosopher?
I am not sure yet, but at present I don't anticipate making any major changes to the following three chapters of the original, the next drastic rewriting probably coming in the old chapters 5 & 8. A precise timing of the whole thing will have to wait until it is complete; it is still a bit early to claim that the end is in sight,
I look forward to hearing your and Nicola's reactions.
Yours, Andrew Malcolm
