Dear Mr. R,

Your kind letter is at hand. I regret I can be of so little help to you. As you know, I am not well, and am confined to bed most of the time and unable now to engage in any activity, either mental or physical, which can be avoided. Hence, I must respectfully decline your invitation for an interview.

As to my early work in MHD and electrogravitics which, incidentally, has never been completed, there is almost nothing, I am sorry to say, that would contribute to the search for an alternate energy source. There have been published, I regret to say, a number of pseudo-scientific, esoteric and totally unsupported articles on the subject which have done more harm than good. They have given the subject a bad reputation in the eyes of the scientific community and serve no useful purpose.

I must remind you there is not a shred of supportable scientific evidence that a "sea" of "free energy" useful to mankind, actually exists.

Any publication for profit of unsupported concepts at this time at least, might be considered tantamount to fraud. I urge that you be especially guarded in this respect.

Cordially yours,

T. Townsend Brown
