Dear Dr. Lederberg,

A few days ago I returned from a trip to the United
States which, unfortunately, did not give-me any opportunity
to visit Madison. At my return Dr. Ganesas showed me your
letter to him (March 31st, 1958) andsseked me to write you
a letter of recommendation. It seems to me from your letter
that a recommendation is no longer necessary. On the other
hand I am very willing to do So, Since Ganesan is really a
very nice chap, quite knowledgable and tremendously energetic
and enthusiastic and I feel convinced that you will like hin.
According to my experience he is far above the usual run of
Indian students.

I also notice from your letter that you will be in
Copenhagen TL HGR e, or, after the Microbiology Congress
in Stockholm and/on is occasion I shall have an opportunity
of meeting you. However, I must tell you that if you plan
to come to Copenhagen before the Congress the chances of
meeting anybody at home are very slight indeed. This is
due to the shortness of children's school-vacations in
Denmark, which vitually forces all Danish fathers to take
their vacations during July and the first days of August.

I would therefore strongly recommend to come after the
Congress if possible.

Witn kindest regards,
yours sincerely,

Aen doth

Heinz Holter.
