Dear Nandu,

I have done much thinking since that evening when we had dinner and talked together as a threesome. I will be seeing the publishers in London at the end of June and have decided that my aim will be to publish one book which will consist of three aspects you so clearly outlined. I feel fairly sure that Butterworths will agree.

You are obviously a very perceptive individual and there were many comments which you made which I found very interesting - for example the relationship between art and science. I am trying to put some thoughts on paper and I wonder whether you would be able to help me.

I plan to have an introductory type chapter in which I want to 'get-across' what the total concept of the examination, interpretation, assessment and techniques is. I wonder whether it would be possible for you to write giving me what you felt were the salient parts of the concept as you saw them? I would be very grateful for this help because I feel your judgement is extremely good.

I am so glad we did havw the opportunity to get together in Adelaide.

With my very best wishes
