November 2, 1964 David H. Goldstein, M.D. Medical Director The New York Times Times Square New York, New York (10036) Dear Dave: Thanks for your two letters from your bed of pain and distress. I appreciate your concern for your colleagues, which in true Eamazzini style, was concealed. I'm delighted to know that you are on the mend, and I am especially pleased that you think well of coming to us later. It will be most helpful to have you talk about and demonstrate the advantages to be obtained from the appraisal of epidemiologic data properly collected and duly processed. To most people this is an ephemeral prospect. My sincere thanks also for your comments about Dr. Patterson's - paper. Let me remind you, however, that I'd like to'have the notes and comments which I gave you, or some sort of/copy ^>f them, at your convenience, for I spent some time on them and may have use, later, for the result of this expenditure of time and effort. I may repeat what I said to you (and may have said in my comments), that there are some very useful ideas in this paper, and I hope, sincerely, that these can be presented in a modification of his paper from which some, at least, of the most objectionable features can be eliminated. It is really unfortunate when a brilliant mind is handicapped in its performance by juvenile qualities of personality. ' With best wishes for your speedy and full recovery. Sincerely, RAK:vr Robert A. Kehoe, M.D. N24759 00440
