Dear Sir: Whitlock
author: Chemsyn: A Chemical Automaton
title:

This manuscript has been submitted for publication in the JOURNAL OF
THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY. We would value your comments
on its suitability for publication.

Novel findings, either experimental or theoretical, in all phases of fundamen-
tal chemistry are published by the Journal. Articles which have general
interest, either because they appeal to readers in more than one specialty or
because they contain ideas or findings in a particular specialty which are of a
broad application, will be given special consideration. Articles which record
routine measurements or syntheses are normally referred to specialized
journals.

Communications to the Editor are reserved for the rapid publication of
findings of unusual timeliness and must meet special requirements of signif-
icance and urgency.

Blanks are provided for your comments. Please sign the original copy. The
pink copy, which will be sent to the author, is to be signed only if you wish
to reveal your identity as a referee. If you write directly to the author about
this manuscript, please send us copies of all pertinent correspondence.
Please return the white and pink forms to us. The blue copy can be kept for
your files.

Thank you very much for your help.
Sincerely,
