Dear Dr, Domerse:

Thanks for letting me know about your cormunications
with Ghen, I am really relieved a little bit that he is nok
going to be with you because I would hate to be responsible for
your getting tied up with a man who caused you any trouble,
From what I have subsequently learned about the situation at La
Angeles where Chen was before he left this country, I feel that
anyone who takes him on, takes a real risk. I had nothing whate
ever to do with the Minnesota job and,for this also, I am very
glad.

You may remember I asked you about when the reprints
from last year's symposium would be available and I got the
impression from you that you thought they were about to ba dige
tributed to the authors, I have been holding up the distribu-=
tion of my other reprints for the past year or two, hoping that
these would come along in time to be included. If it wouldntt
trouble you too much, I wonder whether you could build a fire
under someone and get a little action,

I have been expecting to get a bill from you for the
oar which disappeared under the careless supervision of ny SONS,
but none has been forthcoming. Remember that you promised to
send me a bill if the oar was not found. I should really feel
mach better about the whole affair if you let me take care of
the costs. Can I depend upon you for it?

I am very grateful to you for having let me have ac=
commodations during the symposium, I found the symposium very
profitable indeed, and the rest of my family certainly had the
time of thelr lives.

With very best wishes to you and Mrs, Demerec,

Cordially yours,

T. M. Someborn
