Dear Josh:

We were sorry to hear that you would not be able to
attend our second Phosphorus Symposium, because we would have
liked to have you here to discuss the subject of "Transforma-
tion",

If you have material that you would like to include
in the published book, we hope that you will send it along to
use It is doubtful whether we will have Hotchkiss! manuscript
in enough time to allow a discussion of it. Therefore, I think
that we should not plan on trying to do this. There are no ob~
jections, however, on including a paper in the book on this sub-
ject, even though it is not presented at the Symposium. The
only thing that I would suggest, if you plan to submit such a’
manuscript, is that you communicate with Hotchkiss, in order
that extensive duplication of material that might be reviewed
would not occur.

Best regards.
Sincerely yours,
W. D. McELroy
