Here is a question for writers of scientific papers, or others who have to cite sources in their writing. If you have a situation where a person, in this case Alan Bartholomai, who writes a personal communication to an author, in this case Eugene Gaffney, and that author then reproduces the letter in a publication, how does one correctly cite information contained within the letter?
Would it be "(A. Bartholomai pers. comm to Gaffney in Gaffney, 1981)" ?
