Dear Will:
In the January number of "Blood", there is a
paper on the relationship of blood volume to total
body water.
I wish you would read this paper because
the author*s’conclusions ere different than yours.
You may remember that we discussed this matter in
relation to studies on the Marshallese and T should
like to know if you still think it 1s worth while to
consider these tests in conjunction with blood volume
determinations. We are leaving on February 18th and will
be passing through San Fransisco that afternoon,
It will
be no problem for us to get samples of urine from the
people on whom we are planning to obtain blood volume
data.
I would appreciate a prompt reply as time is
getting short,
There was a note in the New York Times about an
expedition to the Himalayas in 1963. I presume it
referred to your group.
Have you contacted Chatterjea
or DasGupta in India with the thought gt setting up
base hematology laboratories with thems
have,
I am as busy as hell and working harder than T
ever
Since I feel I missed the Nobel prize my only goal
is to leave Lillian a richer widow.
Seriously, I am having
a lot of fun (but nobody else around here is),
Please give my best regards to Jean.
If you and she
want to come to the San Francisco airport for a drink on
February 18th, even if we don't do the body waters,
flight 87, United Air Lines, arriving 12:05 P.M.
it is
With kindest personal regards,
eee
