Dear Josh:

It was great to re-establish contact with you after all
these years. I wish first to congratulate you not only on the
Rockefeller appointment, but also on your appointment as
Chairman of the Presidents Cancer Panel. The cancer field needs
a strong advocate for basic research, and I have great confidence
in your understanding of the problem, and in your abilities as a
powerful advocate.

Art Pardee and I were wondering if you would be interested
in visiting the Sidney Farber Cancer Institute, and if so, how
we might facilitate your visit. Several options come to mind.
The visit could be as formal or informal, as structured or not
as you wish, could include discussions with individuals and/or
groups, depending upon your interests, and of course a seminar
could be arranged if you felt so inclined.

On the personal side, we would be delighted if you would
stay with us while you are in Boston. As they say in Japan,
from whence we have just returned, we would try to make you
comfortable in our humble home.

Sincerely,
