Monthly reports under Carbide and Carbon Metals Fund
I would like to ask you to take the responsibility for preparing a brief monthly report under the Carbide and Carbon Metals Fund. I suggest that you prepare a draft of this report by the twentieth of each month, show it to me in order to get approval, and have it typed and sent on to Dr. Felbeck by the first of the month.
I think that these reports in general should be brief, amounting to about one page - essentially a summary of the specific activities carried on during the month. Then once every six months or possibly once a year a detailed and illuminating report could be prepared in place of the brief monthly report.
