Dear Don:
I'm afraid I do not understand the pattern of tilings in England whereby those to whom you refer as "our friendM" are greatly disturbed, it seems, by|the article by Sir Alan Moncrieff and his associates. I was dissatisfied by some of the statements in the article,and I expressed myself to the authors. I wrote to both Sir Alan and Barbara E. Clayton and had courteous replies. These, of course, were not toery satisfactory from the aspect of any kiiid of remedy for the situation, but they opened the door for any further communication to them which might be useful. (I did not direct any critical remarks to the editor to be published.)
Now, the question is what to do, that would not upset the amenities,
and| that would do some good. My professional relationships in England are very
good, as far as they go, but I could not get verjf far under ray own power with
the strictly clinical group, t would not like to barge into this without
knowing just what to expect. Any statement which I might make, on present
infC
,! _ _ '

seems better directed to the authors or to the Archives. I wonder, therefore,
how to go about this. can make inquiry myself, through friends, but I
suspect that I should have some direct contact with those who are disturbed.
Are they physicians or industrial managers, and regardless of their slant
on the matter, what are the sources of difficulty or dissatisfaction?, There
are ways, I am sure, of getting at this, and of dealing with it through
appropriate channels and by graceful means.
'
Please let me have such information as may be pertinent, and give me the benefit of your own view of the importance of this matter.
Sincerely yours,
RAK;Vr
