Am doing a rather unusual tiling: Lifti: . these out of my ..c. 3k. without retaining copies.	These arc. mg working sheets.	It
would take c nsiderable time to make copies.
I als o enclose a carbon page of the Index of ' the book in preparation.... .San Jose .Mission. Because there is no comprehensive or correct or popular history here, you will see that I have had to go far afield to build'the background about the fission. The research has been, and is, terrific....wading constantly thru fog arid mist, and much of the dp.ta is still incomplete.
I vant your reactions frankly. I am in wholehearted agreement '■"it11 you., that unless we can now have careful history we ..ill get nowhere. The research and time, the checking and cross-checking, that has been involved have cost me so much I am being burdened.
I do not have he funds f, r t e concentration t at is necessary, ar.d -' are bad timer, are not easing that burden any.
Cordially,
/larval Ayr so
