matters with those I love. Conference with Bender most of afternoon discussing a plan for research, trying to form [[red underlined]] oil soluble resins [[/red underlined]] by finding cheaper or better or more direct methods than the paraphenyl-phenol method. Trying to induce [[red underlined]] oil solubility [[/red underlined]] by the [[red underlined]] use of aldehydes [[/red underlined]] of [[red underlined]] higher molecular weights [[/red underlined]] [[strikethrough]] I [[/strikethrough]] such as a acetoaldelyde, butaldehyde, 
benzylaldehyde etc [[red underlined]] or [[strikethrough]] inevas [[/strikethrough]] selecting [[strikethrough]] pa [[/strikethrough]] higher homologs of phenol, [[/red underlined]] or [[red underlined]] phenolic [[/red underlined]] bodies derived from existing phenols but introducing a longer chain of inactive hydrocarbon side groups or hydrocarbon rings, saturated or non saturated, or [[strikethruogh]] do use [[/strikethrough]] using these in conjunction with higher molecular aldehydes. My belief is that the smaller the molecule of the aldehyde

and the smaller the molecule of the phenol, the [[red underlined]] less oil soluble the [[strikethrough]] prod [[/strikethrough]] end product is [[/red underlined]]
[[underlined]] Aug 22. [[/underlined]] Mr. [[red underlined]] Deere [[/red underlined]] here and new meeting with same as formally [[strikethrough]] O [[/strikethrough]] [[red underlined]] Trist [[/red underlined] not here. - He prefers to stay away so as to allow more leeway in conversation. [[red underlined]] Deere [[/red underlined]] gives an account of what has been done and advantages and drawbacks. A frank talk and enlightens [[strikethrough]] as well [[/strikethrough]] about many details. Then takes [[striekthrough]] C. P. T [[/strikethrough]] C P. Townsend, myself and George B. to his [[red underlined]] large printing establish- [[strikethrough]] hment [[/strikethrough]] ment in Jersey City [[/red underlined]] where [[strikethrough]] Trist [[/strikethrough]] he telephones [[red underlined]] Trist [[/underlined]] to meet us. - It is a big establishment well organised and we find there a room entirely equipped with a simple practical and sufficient outfit for carrying out the process. The cycle of operations is much simpler in practice than I imagined from the description
