Dear Dr. Horton:
I shame to have left your letter 30 long unanswered. It was a pleasure to have you visit here, and I found con versation with you very stimulating. Thank you for supply ing the reference to the work of John and Rehberg on the
Stedman-type packing. I expect we will want to build a column or two with this kind of packing.
I particularly regret not having supplied you with the samples of n-decylbenzene and n-decylcyclohexane you asked for. Our Advisory Committee has gone on record as
being eager to cooperate with API Research Project MC-1 in this way. I have been directed to offer you the best mate
rial we have, but to ask you to get along on the least amounts which will serve your purpose. The amounts and purity of the best materials we have are as follows:
n-Decylbenzene ,, n-Decylcyclohexane
99.80 99.3
0.2 mole % 0.3 mole %
440 ml. 150 ml.
Please let me know at once if you still want the sam
ples, and whether somewhat less than 100 g. of each will_ .
suffice.
Sincerely yours.
