 Dear Sirs:
 	We have recently published an interesting article entitled
 "Steric Enhancement of Resonance: An Electron Localization
 Perspective".
 This article has probed a phenomenon termed as 'steric enhancement of
 resonance' (SER) discovered by an Indian organic chemist, Professor V. Baliah
 around 1960.  It was also discussed by Professor Kamlet around the same time.
 We have found that the so-called 'steric' effects do have their electronic
 counterparts.  We will be grateful to know of any other studies related to SER
 (either theoretical or experimental) or the sister phenomenon of Steric
 Inhibition of Resonance (SIR).  We will also be glad to mail you a copy of
 our article [Curr. Sci. 71, 131 (1996)].  It could be of broad general interest
 to chemists.
 	Thank you very much.
 					Shridhar R. Gadre.
