My dear Dr. Sochocky:
I have received your letter of the 27th
ultimo upon my roturn from out of town, and regret, the ohange
in your attitude evidenced by its tone. I have no desire to
enter into controversial correspondence with you, but in the
interests of accuracy I feel that I ought to state the essen-
tial facta in the matter in en effort to ramove from your mind
samo of the misapprehenaiona shown in your letter.
It had been evident forsome time that
you and Mr. Roeder could not work in harmony, and thet the con-
duot of the business of the Company was suffering from this
fact. On April 27th, at e meeting of the Board you proposed
tosolve the problem by heving yourself made General Manager of
the Company, and you will recall that you declined to allow any
discussion by the Directors. If I remember rightly the resolu-
tion was not seconded, and the Board voted to take all possible
steps to make the position of the Company more liquid under the
joint direction of yourself and Mr. Roéder. At our interviem in
Orange I told you frankly that I did not approve personally of
putting you in complete charge of the Comosny'a affairs, because
I did not feel that you were by training or temperament fitted to
carry the matter to a successful conclusion, and left after you
had assured me that whatever the Directors decided to do would
be satisfactory to you. I discuased the matter with the other
Directors, particularly with Mr. Roeder who made it clear that a
continuation of divided direction spelt ruin for the Comonny,
and on May 25th at my office I told you that I thought the
Board would decide to let Mr. Roeder work out the necessary ad-
justment of the Company's affsirs. I knew that the Board would
want to retain your conneotionswiti the Company, and auggested
that this night be done by appointing you Chief Consulting Chemist
at the seme salary that you were then receiving. You then wanted
to know what your duties would be, and I told you I did not bolieve
