Dear Doctor Garfunkel:
Thanks for your letter of February 21. I am pleased, rather than irked by your request to lopk at this matter a second time.
I should explain, perhaps, the fact that I have been in San Francisco since February 9 and that I left Cincinnati for New Orleans (to a meeting of the American Academy of Occupational Medicine), and proceeded thence to San Franc isc:o. Here, I do not have access to the articles represented as references in the author's manuscript. My being in San Francisco will account for the delay in dealing with this manuscript.
I should like you to know that I do not object at all to Dr. Rosen's attitude toward ny initial review. On the contrary, I am pleased to find him reacting as he ha.s .
Since Dr. Rosen wrote a letter to Dr. Nelson, a copy of wnich was sent to me, I have written to him also, for he is well and very pleasantly known to me. I enclose a copy of my letter to him, for sucn use as it may be to you.
Cordially yours,
RAK:wb Dictated but not read
