Dear Joshua:

I had intended to indicate that no helpful development would ultimately
come out of Texas. The particular contact I was working on in Houston was
very much put off by developments concerning the Shah of Iran and their
reaching into the support of the University. This will wear off and I have
two contacts in Houston now that I think over a period of time may yield up
to one million dollars. Incidentally, your new publication is going to be some-
what helpful in this regard, and I would like to have a few more copies of SL
it, but don't waste them, say four or five.

The Golgi work progresses well. Right at the moment we actually have one
very useful mutation.

When I hear from you again, perhaps we can get together. If you come to
Austin, I have a slight task in mind for you that I think you will welcome.
It was good to hear from you.

Cordially yours,
