Scholar was upset by letter I wrote to Lothian (Citibank NY) and Michael Darby about the draft article - saying that could not go to MBC

Saw Brian Griffiths at Gilder’s Launch party - BG conceded that we had been right about M1 M3 inflation - this was quite a change
He said I should be gvr of the Bank of England - but I could not put myself forward!
