Prof. W. A. Noyes

University of Illinois

Urbana, Ill.

Dear Professor Noyes:

I have been planning to devote this year to writing a book on "The Nature of the Chemical Bond: an Introduction to Structural Chemistry." I have been well pleased with the services of McGraw-Hill, however, and have promised to submit the manuscript to them, so that I feel that [it] is not possible for me to sign a contract with the American Chemical Society. Possibly it will seem desirable to publish this as an ACS monograph; but the decision must be made later.

Yours sincerely,
