Dear Josh:

Our Institute was established in 1970; formerly, we were
part of the Retina Foundation. Evidence of our success in
the scientific domain is indicated by our publications (see
enclosed) and the increase in our budget from about one to three
million. We are planning to celebrate our 10th Anniversary
by outstanding events, hoping to gain greater visibility in
the Boston area. In the midst of the many giant scientific
institutions in Boston, this task is difficult for a small
organization.

The principal event will be a symposium with distinguished
scientists as speakers. The theme will be “Medical Science
in the year 2,000," to be presented at a level of complexity
comprehensible to theimtelligent. layman. We plan three after-
noon lectures and one in the evening, following cocktails
and a buffet.

We would be honored to have you as one of the speakers.
The exact date has not been set, pending responses to our
letters of invitation. We do, however, have auditorium res-
ervation for either October 16 or 30. If I do not hear from
you I shall call in about two weeks, to explore the honorarium
and other arrangemets.

In the hope that you can join us,

Best regards,

bovbe re

Dr. Barbara E. Wright
