Well- if indeed that was what they meant, that's what they should have said. But they didn't say that. They said "a potential translation project in which you might be of interest".

I read what I see. I don't speculate that a person might have been thinking something different from what they wrote.

I should find out more about him. During my summer hikes I often walk past his house in the village of Great Missenden.
