[[underline]] Dec 10 [[/underline]] All morning conference with [[underline]] Townsend [[/underline]] and [[underline]] George B. [[/underline]] in regard to [[underline]] patent [[/underline]] situation [[underline]] Concluded to refile patent application of C.21 [[/underline]] which has been withdrawn. Also discussed paper patent of [[underline]] Cheetham. [[/underline]] came more and more to the conclusion that it was a [[underline]] serious blunder to have filed this case, [[/underline]] and still greater to have it [[underline]] published [[/underline]] and still greater to have [[underline]] omitted foreign [[/underline]] applications before the patent was published. My own patent on paper has still to run till 1933 and thus we would have been fully protected while improving our finances.
