Dear Don:
I thought it wae best to let you know that after I wrote a letter
to all the characters that were at Washington and gave you a bad time
about our plane, Conard called Bill Meissner without my knowledge, and
Bill thinks what we plan to do is ridiculous, will not be profitable,
and that there really isn't any conflict in diagnosia nor need to correct
it.
Apparently they say the only difference is with the diagnosis of
occult cuncer. I like a fight and am prepared to go ahead, irrespective
of the feelings of Conard or Meissner. However, I don't like to embroil
my friends in a squabble without their concurrence. In addition, I have
not as yet heard from any of the other members of the thyroid group to
get their reactions to the letter I sent you all,
1 would appreciate it if you would contact Horton Johnson and feel
him out as pathologist-to-pathologist as to whether what is being proposed
is a worthwhile thing to do. Please let me have your thoughts.as soon as
‘dt is practical.
Warmest personal regards.
Sincerely yours,
