Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy One Chase Manhattan Plaza New York, New York 10005 Dear Alex: Upon my return to campus after the holidays, I was delighted to learn from Sydney Woodd-Cahusac of the gift which you have made to the University, and your thoughtful consideration of an additional contribution through the Program of Trust and Estate Gift Plans, — This further evidence of your support is particularly meaningful to me, and to everyone else here, for it reflects an extraordinary commitment to the achievement of this institution's objectives. Your work with the Committee on Trust and Estate Gift Plans has already produced many bene- fits. I am convinced that, given your energetic leadership, the Committee's efforts will help substantially to secure the longer-range resources which are so essential to main- taining the vitality of our biomedical research and educa- tional programs. With best regards, Sincerely, Joshua Lederberg be: Sydney A. Woodd-Cahusac Rodney W. Nichols Robert L. Van Valer Mary H. Dean MHD /nw
