It was hot and sultry\nmost of the time\"\nPage 16, line 5: Should not the rate of transformation occuring\ndaily be 16.5% instead of 18%? In the equation at the bottom of page\n16, you have put in with pen in the denominator of the equation 2.09 x 10-8,\nshould this not be 2.10 X 10-62\nPage 20, line 2: You state that it was established definitely that\nabout 4 2 micrograms, inasnuch in table 1 you state the approximate)\nquantity of this subject to be 4 micrograms, why do you insert I 2 micro-\ngransher In this instance it seens to me that the qualifying adjectives\n*approximately or about\" should be sufficienty\nThese together with the suggestions made in your letter of October\n16th, we foel will put the finel touches on the paper.\nThe matter of a bibliography is one which we discussed but don't\nbelieve that a paper of this nature requires any very extensive bibliography.\nThe work is original and is not dependent on anything we know of that\nis already in the literature other than basic information pretaining to\nradio-activity.\nThe page numbers referred to above are based on a new numbering\nstarting with page one and continuing with 2 and so on numorically.\nWe also discussed the matter of the best place for publication, and\nit occurs to us that we would probably be able to get the report published\nthe\nin full at an early date in the American Journal of Rochtganology and\nRadium Therapy. We also feel that the nature of the paper warrants\nits being published in a Journal of this nature rather than a Journal\ndealing with purely chemical subjects. If you have any other suggestions\nas to a good place for publication we will be glad to have them.\nWith kind regards, I am\nSincerely yours,\nHHBarker : RH\nVice President."
