Dear Joshua:

Just a quick note to say I finally got in touch with Mr Hagerty
about the possibility of your doing a Texas Sweep sometime dur-
ing the year. We left it that he would try to pick out some
dates on which we all might agree. Tentatively he suggested

as a first possibility sometime during the last two weeks in
September. At the moment those are good times for both of us,
so if you too can harmonize ,September should be ideal.

I think we can arrange for you to get adequate media coverage
while you are here, Despite its fifth place population status,
Houston still has elements of being a small town. Seers from
the civilized world are received with a certain amount of awe
and publicity. As a focus point in Houston I would like to
propose that we give you a $1,000 recognition award from the
Center of Interaction at a lecture at the medical school. The
two previous recipients have been Lord Florey and George Klein.
In addition I am certain that we can arrange an appropriate
dinner or meeting with various key elements of the Houston es-
tablishment who might listen with interest to your views about
the Rockefeller University. Indeed if,the arrangements pro-
gress, I have several ideas I would like to submit for your
consideration which might be helpful to your fund raising.
Side exposures via Rice University and/or NASA or the Univer-
sity of Houston can be easily arranged. In the meantime,
would you mind sending me a copy of your annual report or a
catalogue. These might be helpful in our planning.

I am sorry to hear that you sustained an unfortunate ortho-
pedic injury. I trust that healing process commenced and re-
covery is an accomplished fact.
Let me know when your have set your plans. 4
WitmMwarm.regards,
