Dear Hilton:
Last October,In Lyon*, Dr. Holnea stated that the Rochdale x-ray* (1906, 1970) were going to be reasseaaed.
Can you tell ne whether this ha* yet been done and, if to, what the results were?
I'd appreciate thla a good deal; It would.help clarify our current thinking.
With van personal regards.
Sincerely yours.
