Dear Richards:

I tried to reach you at your home over the telephone, but you seemed to
be away, and so I am sending this letter in the hope that it might be
forwarded to you. You can best see the present state of affairs
concerning our problem from a letter which I wrote to Mr. Strauss on
July 3rd, a copy of which I am enclosing for your information and the
information of your friends. Not until three days ago did I reach the
conclusion that a large scale experiment ought to be started immediately
and would have a good chance of success if we used about $35,000 worth
of material, about half this sum representing uranium and the rest other
ingredients...I am rather anxious to push this experiment as fast as
possible...I would, of course, like to know whether there is a chance of
getting outside funds if this is necessary to speed up the experiment,
and if you have any opinion on the subject, please let me know.

If you think a discussion of the matter would be of interest I shall of
course be very pleased to take part in it...Please let me know in any
case where I can get hold of you over the telephone and your postal
address.
