I have your letter of September 30, 1936, concerning the
proposed conference here on Gatoter 16th, 16th and, possibly 17h
to iron out difference } vir sepmoryh :

be pleased to have the group hore for this purpose and also to
reap ay benefit =e may be prougible from sugrestions they may

 

 

Dr, Hisnolsbah @nve me last week with request for comuen’
& temecrint of on article by Dra. Nady, Howe and Beld on the
effect of ‘athydrodesoxymorphine~D on aniowla. fT wrote Ain a
uenorandum abouts thig and the whole thing was forwarded te your
nee yesterday. You will note from it that I an an perfect
agreement with your attitude about thie drug and it is especially
gratifying to me that I wae able to express my feeling before I
knew what your attitade waa.

 

 

 

 

To pat thie drug out with eren a gugcestion that it may
mot be addicting would be little short of a crime. In my opinion,
the experimente that this group have done on animals prove that
it ie addicting and more so than heroin. I feel from my reading
of the article in question that the group ls unconsciously trying
to put over on inference that conflicts with thelr owi findings.

Vary truly yours,
