and so far as the future of the Journal itself is concerned. I can see no reasons why a firm conviction of the value of statistical methods in biological work should necessitate that one should subscribe to your views as to the method and nature of inheritance.
I sincerely hope that this matter may not interfere with the personal relationship between us which to me, at least, has been very pleasant and stimulating.
If I have your permission to do so, I certainly expect in spite of this matter to visit you in London and if you will let me, discuss these matters with you. I want also to express to you the high and sincere appreciation which I have of your scientific work. If anything worth while ever comes out of my scientific career I feel that it will be to a large degree due to the stimulus of your work and your example.
I am enclosing herewith the items for the bibliography for the next number of Biometrika. The list of titles is not complete. I had intended to put considerable more work upon it before sending it to you, but since I have received your letter I, of course, shall do no more work on the matter. I only send these in the thought that they may be useful to you. If you do not care to use them, throw them away.
Assuring you again of my high and sincere regard for you and regretting that matters should have had to take the turn which they have, I remain,
Very truly yours,
Raymond Pearl.
