Dear Joshuas

I found your correction of my report of the Oak Ridge
conference waiting for me when I got back here after the meetings
in Florida, I will of course see that a note correcting the mistake
is entered in Science as soon as possible. I just don't understand
how I had gotten so w: wrong an understanding, but I am doubly sorry
to have perpetuated a general misunderstanding. I can only say
that four people here besides myself and three at Jak Ridge read
the account before it went to Science and none of us picked up the
mistakee Pretty awful, and I am deeply chagrineds

With best personal regards,

  

Bentley Gla
