The same pipette was used for each of the patients. The sera, preserved with thymol, wiil be sent to you by Dr. Conard early next week. He will also send you the hei;:ht and weight of each of the patients. Will you please send me the results after you have completed counting the samples. I think you should also know that many of these people received Cr 51 at the same time as the tritiated water. I shall need from you the appropriate formulae for "Cabs ~ | calculating blood volumes in relation to lean body mass, BE I shall of course send you our blood volume data. foo What is the news from Will?
