There is no truth in SL's statement to James Ivory regarding work on the figure of the earth belonging exclusively to JH. Has written to Ivory stating the facts of the misunderstanding.
When he last saw James Ivory at the British Museum, no mention was made of JH's name. Thinks the remarks of Ivory are caused by mental disease.
