[[start page]] 29 as I foresaw when I [[read/]] [[recvd?]] that unfortunate letter agreement proposed by George B. supported by Roni and the others; contrary to my own recommendations when I left for that visit to West-Virginia [[underline]] Aug 9.[[/underlined]] Resting here in Yonkers all day.

Have wired to Hays to come here from Adirondacks in secret to talk over funding situation with [[strikethrough]] Uriwa [[/strikethrough]] [[underline]] Union Carbide [[/underline]].

C & C. will visit there in a way so as not [[end page]]
