Memorandum to Mr. Roeder [A. Roeder], November 11, 1925

U.S.R.C. INTERIOR .MEMORANDUM Date Nov. 11, 1925. Subject For Attention of Mr. Roeder. Answering Memo. of Dear Mr. Roeder: Dr. reitter was in to see me the other day and he seemed a little disturbed over the fact that we are not ready to turn over to him the findings in the Leman case. It rather seems to me that he is entitled to the results of this examination, and I have therefore prepared a summary giving the final results without giving too much detail. As far as the report itself is concerned, I hardly feel that he is entitled to it or the use of it in preparing his final report. Part of this work is entirely original with me and I can see no reason why it should be turned over to him, to appear, at some future date, under his name or even a joint authorship. I am perfectly willing that he should have the final results, but feel that when the time comes I should have the privilege of publishing the work I have done under my name alone. I am substantiated in this view by Dr. Schlundt, and he ventures to remark in a recent communication to me, that he thinks the report well worthy of publication in its present form. Please understand, that I have no idea of publishing at this time, but would like to when the proper time comes. I am attching a copy of the original report, as well a.s the summary which I have prepared for Dr. Reitter. My report I would like rerurned, the copy of the one prepared for Dr. Reitter you may keep. Very truly yours, H. H. Barker.
