Dear Dr. Lederberg:

I appreciate the opportunity to present my work on drugs
and lupus in the Toxicology Seminar series yesterday and to
have your comments about it.

The immunologic studies that Bob Lahita and I are doing
would be greatly facilitated by our being able to obtain some
radioactive procainamide for use in developing radioimmune
assays for antibodies to this drug. We would appreciate any
help you can give us in obtaining a gift of this material.

Incidently, I have had a joint appointment at Rockefeller
University ever since I moved to New York in 1975. I have
participated in a few of the activities of the University over
these years in addition to my research collaborations. I
value my association with Rockefeller and view our clinical
pharmacology program as one of the successful inter-institu-
tional programs that we have at 68th and York.

Best personal wishes.
Sincerely yours,
Marcus M. Reidenberg, M.D.
