Dr. E. J. Crane, Editor
Chemical Abstract
The Ohio State University
Columbus 10, Ohio
Dear Dr. Cranes:
I thank you very much for your letter of September 29.
The statistics given in your table are very interesting indeed. I had, of course, surmised that the contribution that the United States has been making in the scientific fields covered by Chemical Abstracts have become more important than before, but I had not realized that we have doubled our percentage, from twenty percent in 1913 to over forty percent in 1947.
I do not think that you should worry about the future outlook for Chemical Abstracts. It is necessary for you to call our attention to the needs of Chemical Abstracts; but the work that you and your associates are doing is so important that means must be found to permit it to be carried on in just the right way. I do not think that you should be bashful about the matter.
With best regards, I am
Sincerely yours.
