Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky

Dear Sir

The typescript of your book has reached me just at the moment when I am changing house, and at perhaps the most difficult time which Great Britain has undergone for centuries. It is wholly impossible for me to pay attention to your work, and I cannot say I feel pleased at having it thrust upon me without a word of previous warning.

Yours faithfuly,

Alan H. Gardiner
