Dear Doctor Black,
OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
Please forgive me for intruding on your African holiday. I was given your holiday address by your friend Lucy. Please forgive me also for troubling you again with what may seem, especially at such a distance, to be a tiresome and arcane little problem, but you are one of the very few people who may be able to help me solve it.
I telephoned you in early May in an attempt to piece together an account of what happened to a philosophical text I had written entitled Making Names which in 1985 was under consideration by the Press for publication as a General Book. I believe that in late July that year its publication was formally approved by the Delegates, at a meeting at which you may have been present.
On the telephone you explained that you no longer had access to the relevant papers and, understandably, that you were unable to remember this particular case. However, you did vouchsafe that the General Book titles presented at those meetings would certainly have been listed in some formal way. I would be most grateful if you could confirm this, and if possible when you get back, perhaps even send me an example of such a list so that I can get a better idea of what sort of a document it is that I am trying to trace.
Yours sincerely, Andrew Malcolm
