December 1, 19^1 Dr* Ragnar J. Hess 354 Metropolitan Building Denver, Colorado Dear Jack* I am q uifce billing to abide by your decision as outlined In your letter of November 22, It would be most unfortunate, I am sure, if any action on your port could possibly be misconstrued by Work end 111 feeling arise As I mentioned to you In a previous letter, I wrote Moiris Flshbeln and explained th situation to him, not with the idea of asking his to take any steps, but rather to get an expression of opinion from him as to what was the best thing to do. I think, therefore, that unless Morris is much more Inept than we have reason to believe he is, he will do nothing about It until he has replied to my letter and certainly he should not communicate with Phil Work at this stage of the negotiations. It would seem best therefore, to let matters rid until I get a reply from Morris Fishbein and have his comments on procedure. I will let you know vhat he says. You realize as well as I do that I would not be disposed to make an issue of this paper were it not for the fact that I do not agree with Phil ork*s con clusions, particularly since my recent examination of the patient, and consequently the isssuo is not one of use of data without courtesy of inspection, but rather the abuse of material. I do not see how I can let this go by without some comment. In any event, things are not moving very rapidly and no steps will be taken until y have a reply from Chicago* la the meantime, I think it would be a matter of great intereat to have the samples on Loehr, If It is possible to obtain them.
