Kothari writes that he hopes BR has received his letter of 18 September.

"I have seen your letter to Mr. Moulik (Public Relations Officer, Indian High Commission, London). I am sincerely sorry for the unfortunate oversight about the authorship of the quotation at the beginning of Chapter VII (conclusion) in the book Nuclear Explosions." This is being corrected for the second impression, which will be released the following month. He is adding Born and Pauling to the list of signatories to the quotation.
