Dear Josef, 
Many thanks for both your letters. I sympathize 
with your struggles, since I too am struggling right now 
with a paper I promised to write for a February conference; 
and I find it very hard going. So I welcomed an excuse for 
quitting my typewriter for long enough to look up your 
references. 
All the TNEC Reports were published by the Government 
Printing Office, Washington, D.C.; #15 in 1940, the other 
two in 1941- The author of #15 is Charles L. Merwin Jr.; its 
chapter 2 is entitled "Profits of American Manufacturing 
Corporations", its page numbers are 17-42. 
Number 17's title is Problems of Small Business and it has 4 
major and 3 minor authors: John C. Cover, Nathaniel H. 
Engle, Earl D. Strong and Peter R. Nehemkis Jr. are the 
major authors (each listed on a separate line with all his 
titles), William Saunders, Harold Vatter and Harold H. Wein 
are the minor authors. 
The authors of #22 are Lewis L. Lorwin who wrote Part I and 
John M. Blair who wrote Part II. 
R.C. Epstein's Industrial Profits in the United States was 
published in 1934~by the National Bureau of Economic 
Research, New York, N.Y.; W.A. Paton's Corporate Profits as 
Shown by Audit Reports was published in 1935 also by NBER; 
and Hartley Withers' Stocks and Shares was published in 1910 
by E.S. Dutton, New York, N.Y. 
I believe that that was all you wanted and I 
managed to find it all within 15 minutes.I too used to read 
some of the TNEC reports, though I did not make such 
excellent use of them as you did. Anyhow, I greatly look 
forward to the publication of your collected papers. 
With best* regards from both of us. 
Yours,
