Dear Will:

Under separate cover I am sending to you the 1.0 ml volumetric pipette

which we used at Ruajalein.

I am also sending you the tritiated water since we have no use for it.
I shall ask Bob Conard to send you the samples of plasma which he has in a
frozen state at Brookhaven.
The data on the six subjects to whom we administered the tritiated water and
on whom we performed the cr>t blood volume determinations are as follows:

Your sly innuendos about my rest cure in the Marshall Islands was duly noted,
Believe me, it was a strain to be there because we ran out of bourbon on the
last day and you know how I am when I don't get my morning nip.
Seriouslylhowever, we had a very successful trip and picked up some more thyroid
nodules, and noted retardation in growth in some of the children who were exposed
eleven years ago when they were between six months and one year of age.
I am planning to attend the Nuclear Medicine meeting in Florida in June and trust
you will be able to be there.
[I think it would be nice if you brought Jean
along.
You know how I am (or reported to be) with my friends’ wives.
Please let me know when you have completed the calculations on these sera.
With kindest regards,

Sincerely yours,
