Dr. Wetmore. 
Withrow come in here at our expense, have a conference with Messrs. Aldrich 
and Hoover, and then see you briefly. Following this, a decision could be 
made as to offering him the job. We could, of course, bring him in here on 
the basis of discussing our radiation problems and experiments with him. 
Withrow will be 44 years old in June. He has a degree of electrical 
engineering, M.S. and PhD. (Chicago) and at the present time is Associate 
Professor of Physics at Purdue. As of 1942 he has some 21 papers, several of 
these being on technical equipment used to measure certain responses of plants. 
It looks to me as if he is especially well equipped in electronics and chemistry. 
His training as of 1942 shows:

He seems thus to be very well grounded in all of the subjects which are required 
in our work. 
If you will indicate about when you could see him (only a very short 
interview is required) we will be glad to make arrangements to have him in 
here at that time. 
Very truly.yours,/
