Dear Will:
Many thanks for the data which you sent to Bob Conard. This will
be incorporated in our Annual Report and you will receive due
credit for your work,
Do you think it advisable for us to repeat these studies in
Americans who have been in the Islands for long periods of time?
We have some preliminary values in Caucasians which suggest that
there are reductions in red cell mass and total blood volume.
These latter data are based solely on height and weight.
If you
think this is worthwhile I would pick up the tritiated water on
my way through San Francisco,
Best regards to Jean.
Sincerely yours,
THE LONG ISLAND JEWISH HOSPITAL
