This second conversation proceeds from our previous one of 7th November. This time I was telephoning to see if he knew anything about the second refereeing of Making Names in February 1986. - A. M.
Malcolm: But in any case you have no recollection of it?
Attwooll: No, I'm not saying I have no recollection of the book, what I can't give you with any degree of reliability is the sequence of events.
Malcolm: Yes.
Attwooll: I remember hearing about this when I came back, and indeed I remember hearing about it when I was in New York, because obviously we all talked to each other and I was working for OUP then.
Malcolm: What did you hear about it when you were in New York?
Attwooll: Well, I only heard about the... I see minutes and so on. I heard about the, er, the dispute, er, and the fact that, you know, the history that you talked about yesterday. The first bit of it presumably was, erm, I'd heard about it through the minutes and so on...
Malcolm: Yes. Minutes of what? Minutes of the editorial meetings?
Attwooll: Yes, yes. I mean I can't now remember what documents I saw because I was running the Reference List and I wasn't directly involved, but also informally I kept in touch with the various people, and so...
Malcolm: When were you in New York, when would that have been?
Attwooll: I was in New York from 1983 to 1985.
Malcolm: What month of 1985, can you recall that?
Attwooll: Summer of 1983 to September 1985, something like that.
