Bohr's short letter continues: The continuation of the experiments on the new type of nuclear disintegrations, and above all the closer examination of the conditions for their occurrence, should certainly yield most valuable information as regards the mechanism of nuclear excitation.

Niels Bohr was also working on fission at the time with Léon Rosenfeld. He knew of Meitner's work, so when Rosenfeld told the Princeton Physics Journal Club about their collaboration, Bohr quickly wrote a letter to Nature asserting the priority of Meitner and Frisch. He was aware that his reputation would carry a lot of weight, and didn't want them to lose rightful credit.
