Dear Beets:

It was very gratifying to have your kind and friendly words.
Now it behooves me to be sure that I can get the full benefit
of any advice you may have to offer from your own experience
of moving from a laboratory to a university presidency.

Of course, Rockefeller is not Chicago, but if you should at
any time have any thoughts about what we should be doing and
aren't or vice versa I hope you will not hesitate to pass
them on.

By coincidence I've seen a fair bit of Hannah Gray in the
last several months; but I am sure you will already know her

much better than I do.

Sincerely,

JL/gel
