Abstract

Professional letters will be stored in the DeWitts’ archives at The University of Texas at Austin Center for American History. The following letter has been chosen for inclusion (names withheld) in these memoirs because it talks about non-specialists making physics theories on topics that strike their fancies, but who do not have a solid technical knowledge of the subject. This letter may be of interest to a larger public than other letters.
