Kehoe: Your five papers have been read by Dr's. Ay c 'airhall, MeKhann, and Hamilton, as well rays e l f . Of this group I am the only one w h o is distinctly not qual ed to p;ass judgment on them. As I wrote you under L-3-.h, Xo. e of Ma:rch 25, we are ready.to publish the first four, iinnsser tinngg the analytical data you so kindly sent recently. Dr. Pair-hall showed me the letter he w*x*ote you jsterday, ana it seems that if his suggestion rn0-3ts ?ith rour approval, it would be better to hold off pub lx shi hg ;he series of your papers until your analytical *p be.o r~\*o wi1 l Pairhall is settled'to your satisfaction. We cannot make the Journal a .e-ground, and I think ou find other Journals take the same attitude. If, ho w ever , in view of my letter of March 27, you would prefer the T7>lb 1 ication of the first four papers, we will go ahead as scr eed upon Prom the editorial standpoint, it will be very desirable if you can let us have your decision as sc-on as possible. As you know, we now publish only six times a year, and delay now will mean delay in- publication which will be annoying to you and will interfere with our. schedule. Trying to view the analytical discrepan cies wholly dispassionately, I cannot see why a settlement of the differences could not be had in about a week, and I and all. of us hope you will be able to come here for as long as you -think necessary. We talked all this over with Mr. Yant of the Bureau of Mines, and while he doesn't care to pass any judgment whatever on the relative merits of the analytical procedure, he agreed with us that it would be fine if the dis pute could be settled once and for all. ` Sincerely yours, PD. hi N20358
