Dear Joshua:

Just a brief, but belated note following your triumphal
march through Houston.

The benign afterquakes of your visit continue to be very
positive. As you know, there are now several “individuals
of substance"who have indicated that they would very much
like to visit the Rockefeller University on their next trip
to New York. I know that Mr. Garvey will facilitate their
visits. Everyone was very impressed with the Rockefeller
traveling roadshow! I hope your Dallas segment was as re-
warding in terms of goodwill, and hopefully potential fiscal
support, as I believe the Houston portion was.

I would also like to thank you for your very kind personal
remarks and comments on behalf of the Center. It is begin-
ning to look as though I may finally have a little more time
to work on the goals and aspirations of the Center, so your
interest was not only gracious but timely. Indeed, I may
recontact you at some later date with some additional thoughts
which may be of interest and/or benefit to you.

I wish we could send along some of-our currently very balmy
and beautiful weather. I understand New York has had some
prematurely cold spells this year. After exposing you to our
monsoons, the least we could do is send you some delightful
southwestern zephyrs.

Have a lovely and productive autumn.

With warm regards,

and av

David M. Mumford,
