Dear Josh:

Dr. Monk accepted employment elsewhere about two years ago but his
personal communication to Orr and Gordon on liquid phase sedimentation
studies in all probability concerned the work of Dr. Jack Wagman in our
Biophysics group.

I have discussed your problem with Dr. John Bateman, also of our
Biophysics group, and he has suggested that you might be interested in
some work being done by Albertsson and Tiselius on partition between
different liquids. He also has suggested that the work by Oncley and
Lauffer might be of some interest. Dr. Bateman has agreed to provide
you with references and some specific information on these technics
which I hope will be of value. None of this work is classified.

Charlie Phillips was quite pleased to attend the meeting on the
space program although it is my understanding that he has heard nothing
since the meeting. I am sure Charlie's group will do a good job if
they are invited to participate.

We would be pleased to have you visit us next time you are in the
Washington or Baltimore area.

Sincerely yours,

RILEY D., SEWRIGHT
Scientific Director
