My dear Neill!
I did not write you so long, that I have to apologise. I had to
go through a lot of very hard accomplishments personally and in my
work. There happened a very lucky turn in my investigations: I suc
ceeded to compose microscopic thingst which behave just like proto
zoa. It was demonstrated the last week in Copenhagen in the Rocke
feller-Institut and Albert Fischer the biologist, took it first with fun,
but then when I made the experiment before his eyes, he became rather
serious. I have to do now a lot about it, to prove it to the most compulsion
neurotic scientists.
It will interest you to hear that Mrs. Tracey has made a big step
forward: She succeeds really to solve her tremendous muscular tensions
especially in her face. I think she will write you herself.
Please let me know if you are doing well and how you are getting
along with your fine work.
You will get soon a reprint about the first part of my latest experi
mental work. Please send me reprints if you got some new ones.
With my kindest greetings.
