Dear Dr. Absolon:
The Editors have reviewed the manuscript
entitled, "The Development of Gastric Surgery, An
American-European (Czech) Connection" and regret
that they cannot accept it for publication.
The demands upon the space in our Journal are
great, and it is necessary to keep the material
which we publish balanced as well as possible among
the various fields of surgery which our Journal
represents. We also attempt to keep the interval
between the time of acceptance and publication of
manuscripts as short as possible. To attain these
goals, at .times it is necessary to refuse
publication to worthy material.
The Editors appreciate the opportunity to
consider your manuscript for publication.
Sincerely yours,
G. Tom Shires, M.D.
