Dear Mr. Buitron:

Last week arrived the samples of wood and clay that you sent, with your letter dated January 18. At this time, I do not see which University Laboratory I could interest in carbon dating. My most recent book, Peoples of the Sea (published on January 16) would require a number of tests of radiocarbon and thermoluminescence dating. I will keep your sample well-saved, but if you wish to re-direct them, let me know.

With many thanks for your interest in my work, and desire to be of assistance,

Sincerely yours,

Im. Velikovsky
