Took up accumulated mail then went to laboratory and succeeded in what I imagined could be done namely [[red underline]] dissolve or mix together novolak and hexatriphenol at a temperature below [[?secretion]] then on heating produced [[/red underline]] partial [[?secretion]] with self heating and elimination of some [[red underline]] NH3 [[/red underline]] but was

able to control by cooling or adding solvents. I then succeeded in making a solid A which in its general profiles will be suitable for all purposes where [[strikethrough]] A other [[/strikethrough]] A made by other methods is used [[red underline]] Also got a varnish. this opens a wide field for further [[/red underline]] developments.
On calling up Shannon at the 'phone I hear that following my directions in [[red underline]] [[?secreting]] with hexatriphenol upon Novolak he has succeeded in obtaining in the bakelizer a good strong stick of hard and homogeneous C. [[/red underline]] and is continuing further experiments. I explained to Gothelf my ideas about using [[red underline]] hexatriphenol in conjunction [[/red underline]] with Novolak so that now I have explained all this
