Dear Dr. Milner:

\C\F5PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.
\F1
\JI've been writing a monstrous book on LISP (for undergraduates in 
Computer Science), and want to
give good motivations for Scottery. Mike Gordon said you
had some good motivational notes, particularly for continuity.

I'm enclosing an outline of my current manuscript which you might find
interesting.
If you could send me a copy of your notes, I could send you a copy of mine.
