I am very grateful to you for your letter of 5th May and for sending me the Proceedings of the Royal Society. Thank you very much for calling my attention to the article "Natural Evaporation from Open Water and Grass". I find the article to be exceptionally interesting and helpful in my work.

With best wishes,

Recently I have read an abstract of your article published in Chemical Abstracts, 19... "The Ultimate Control of Nucleotide Pattern in RNA." I would be very grateful to you if you could supply me with a reprint of this article.

I shall very much appreciate it if you give due attention to my request as I am in great need of this article for my work.

Thanking you in advance, I remain,

In reply to your letter of January 10, 19.. I wish to inform you that your request will get the most careful attention. I have contacted the Publishers and asked them to supply me with several new copies of my reprint. I shall be very happy to send you one.

Looking through my morning mail, I was greatly surprised to see your letter of 19 July 19... I am happy to learn that you have finally recovered from your illness and you are back at work. From your letter I can see you are interested in the work we are doing at our lab. at present time.

As we know, a research team from the National Science Foundation working in Antarctica have put forward several theories that explain the cause of ozone layer depletion. We are engaged in studying accelerated degradation of some materials in laboratory conditions.

In your letter you approach me with a request to inform you about our findings. We have achieved some good results and I would be happy to share them with you. If you have any remarks to make I would appreciate it very much. Since you are also working in the same area, I believe our joint cooperation in this investigation would be fruitful and useful.

Please find enclosed a reprint of my paper covering the abovementioned subject of investigation.

With best wishes,

I acknowledge receipt of your letter of August 7th. I was very sorry to learn that you were not going to participate in the 10th Congress of Physiologists. We were so much looking forward to seeing you among us. Perhaps you will charge your mind at the last moment and find time to come over here for a short trip. If so, please let me know immediately so that I can make all the arrangements for your arrival and hotel accommodations.

Anticipating an early answer from you, I remain,

First of all I must apologize for the delay taken in answering your letter of 21st June. Unfortunately, I could not give proper consideration to your letter as I had to leave Minsk on business for a whole month.

I still regret not being in a position to comply with your request at present as I must make a second business trip for a fortnight.

However, I wish to assume you that I shall attend to your request as soon as I get back.

A thousand apologies!

I feel so sorry I kept you waiting so long for my letter. I must apology for not sending you the reprint earlier. Unfortunately I ran out of my supply and had to make another order for them. It gives me great pleasure to send you the reprint. I hope you will find it helpful in your experiment. As soon as you have the final results, I shall be grateful if you send them to me as I wish to use them for plotting curves.

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

With best wishes,

It is a great pleasure to receive your letter of June 8and to find enclosed the material I was so eager to have for my work. The information is indeed of essential importance to me. I realize it took you some time to collect it and I do appreciate it immensely.

With best regards,

I have just receive your letter of 12th May with a requst to contribute to Physical Review. I am extremely grateful for your kind invitation. However I am afraid I shall have to decline it as only a very limited proportion of my work is connected with the purpose of your journal. My main interests are in igneous rocks.

I express my regret once again, and remain,

We are in receipt of your letter of 3rd March, 19.. and are very thankful for sending us your catalogue and price-list for laboratory refrigerators.

We are very sorry to inform you that we have to decline your offer as we are keenly interested in purchasing other laboratory equipment and devices at the present time.

Kindly accept our apologies for the delay,

I would be much obliged to you if you could give me some information concerning your method of using standards for calibration.

I am particularly interested in plotting calibration curves and determining the specific activity of part of a section.

I would very much appreciate this information as I wish to compare my data with yours.

It is so kind of you to send me such a nice present, the children like it immensely. Emma sends you her best regards.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

With best wishes,

I am very glad to get a letter from you and to hear that you and your children are pleased with my present.

As for your request to supply you with information concerning the method of using standards for calibration, I am sorry to learn from your letter that you have not received a reprint of that particular work in the English translation. I put your name on the mailing list, but, perhaps, there is some delay. Anyhow I will certainly inquire into the matter and straighten things out.

In my paper you will find some answers to your inquiry. I hope the information will be helpful in drawing your conclusuons. It goes without saying that I expect to receive the results of your work, either typed or published, it makes no difference.

By the way, have you any information as to the date and place of the next Council Meeting? If you have, kindly inform me so that I am able to schedule my time in the proper way.

With best regards to yourself and to Emma.

It was a great pleasure to receive your letter of 14th April. I am sorry to have caused you so much trouble for this information. It is indeed kind of you to give so much attention to my inquiry. Just yesterday I received a letter from the distributors in which they express their apologies for the unfortunate delay in delivering the reprint. So I trust there is no reason for you to go out of your way to make inquiries or take any steps. Thank you for the reprint.

I have read your paper with great care. On the whole it has made a great impression on me with the exception of some inferences which I would like to discuss with you personally. I am looking forward to seeing you at the next Council Meeting. Dr. E.S. Roberts informed me that the meeting was scheduled for 10th June. You may expect a letter from him in the nearest future.

I hope you will attend the meeting.

Professor Cornfield advises me that you have presented him with your book "Behaviour of Plants in Arid Regions." Frankly speaking, I would like very much to have this very book and in return could suggest "Regim of Plants in Cold Areas."

Please let me know if you agree to such an exchange.

Looking forward to a favourable reply, I remain,
