152 [[symbol of a circle with cross on top in upper left margin]] Wrote to [[red underline]] Frederic Surests [[/red underline]] and my sister per SS. Noordam c/o Van Nee poste restante duplicate [[red underline]] Bermergen and Son. van Gent [[/red underline]] that I am sending about [[underline]] $1000 [[/underline]] per Berlin [[strikethrough]] for [[/strikethrough]] my credit [[red underline]] at Bulehtz Gesellschaft [[/red underline]]..After lunch went to Brooklyn to discuss the estimate submitted by [[red underline]] Paulus [[/red underline]] for creating additional [[red underline]] plant for osalote [[/red underline]] and HCl at Brooklyn. Suggested some additional safety devices on drum, and also inclosing osalate outfit to [[strikethrough]] prev [[/strikethrough]] prevent escape of H. Lutherlund on my recommendation has used very dilute solutions [[left margin has circle with cross on top and 5 hours underneath the symbol]] of glyosylote in converter cell and finds that from 6% to 4% there is little difference but at 3% great diminution and at 2% and 1% practically nil. This seems to explain also why in a 6% solution the first transformation is 80% as long [[end page]] [[start page]] 153 [[in upper right margin is a circle with a cross on it]] as only 50% of the glyostic acid has been converted while if reduction is continued the total becomes only 50% to 60%. In other terms with increasing dilution of glyostic acid present the yield into tantane acid gets considerably reduced. This would suggest that we stop after 50% is converted then strengthen with more glyosylic and try to refanate [[strikethrough]] treats [[/strikethrough]] recessive and mesotastone is formed from the glyosylate. Evening took supper at Monquon with [[red underline]] Voight [[/red underline]] and [[red underline]] Peter [[/red underline]]. May 19. ]]strikethrough]] Home all day.
