Dear Professor Hall,
On a recent meeting at the University of Texas, my friend Elliott Montroll mentioned in glowing terms your work on "amorphous" manmade diamonds.
I would very much like to know more about them. Could you kindly direct me to the proper references, or, even better, send me documents on this topic?
Yours very truly,
Chemistry Department

Dear Benoit B. Mandelbrot:
Thank you for your letter of October 3rd. I apologize for the tardy reply. I have been away for one month and just returned on the 27th.
Some reprints of articles relating to man made diamonds of various types are enclosed. I hope that these may answer your questions.
