Dear Dr. Meyer,
Here are the data on the Marshallese

people. Some of the data looks very perculiar. There is
enough serum left over to redistill most of the patient

samples. If you tuaink any people should be redone, I
will redistill serum and make a new body water determin
ation.

Did you get my May 2 letcer with the infomation

on the references that you requested?

I do hope the delay in sending you these data‘thas

not set the rest of your work back too fab. We were with
out access to a reliable scintillation counter from

before Christmas 1962 till three weeks ago. It took
several weeks to calibrate and test our new machine

and to have the inevitable little"bugs" repaired.

From looking at the enclosed figures we have all
got the impression that the MarshalleSe people must
‘
look very different from Americans. We look foreward ta
seeing some more:data from them.

Sincerely
Ree)
