Dear Dr. Noyes:
I find that there exists a discrepancy of about $1000 between the funds for our work which I had estimated to be available and the funds actually available.
When I talked with you last month about the new spectrograph I used as a basis of discussion the funds available on May 26 together with an estimate of expenditures, inasmuch as I had no account of requisitions on the Crellin and Rockefeller funds. On this basis, there should be on hand funds, for all work planned (spectrograph, high potential source, spectrometer) and about $1200.
Actually the sum is about $0 -$100. Mr. Barrett gave me $857.61 as the amount in the Rockefeller Fund on November 14th. About $800 is still needed for the high potential source.
I do not know where the discrepant $1000-$1200 has gone. If I could examine
