Memorandum: To Dr. J, Lein
Dear Joe:

I thought I would just summarize som points of our gonversation

i oses some
pagt night, while they oxpitct ete afrean dy hub ads consistent.
+. Consultantship: I proposed, for your consideration, to consult on
whatever problems you brought up for the next year, but to do most of
this work at home. I would try to visit your labs. this spring; we would
have to work out any future visits as the time indicated. The only areas
that would be excluded would be those directly connected with the research
now going on in our laboratory, and which has not yet been published.

My fees would be payable monthly, as payment for the "reports" made;

I would base the fees on a per diem rate of $100 ifor work at homey’ proratable
in units of one hour or fraction thereof; for work or visits at Bristol,
proratable per diem. }

I would of course hold confidential ang information, labelled as such,
received from your laboratory. I would consult with you before making my
consulting arrangements, if any, with any competing company.{I would not
be barred from any publication, so lang as I did not quote confidential
data received from you, nor would I be obliged to submit any ma. for clearance.

the absence of any restriction on future empkoyment by other parties, where
again, I should not use confidential data received from you, but could hardly
ignore any of my own general WErgebniese".) I see that mich of this was
actually coverei in your letter of Jan. 17.

    
 

    

 

      

 
 

2. I mantioned Miss. Fthelyn 2. Lively (now at Bact., U/DL1, Urbana, in
Sphegelman's lab. In addition to her experience at micromanipulation, she
also did the cytology mentioned in our paper in the 1951 C.S.H. Symposiun.

3. I also asked, and would be vary grateful, for any leads on literature
on any form of acquired tolerance to drugs, etc., in animals. il already
have this for narcotics and barbiturates; except for Mohanty's paper on
methoniums in Nature last July 24, virtually nothing else]. In case you
might be interested, I am enclosing a chapter outline of our book; any
suggestions will be quite welcome. (We ake already contracted for publica-—
tion).

4. Iam also enclosing a blank "Voicewriter" disk to illustrate its con
vendence, if you are not already acquainted with it.

5» Final enclosure, a reprint that may interest you.

Yours sincerely.
