Dear Hirota-san

————e

I am leaving today for Australia; your letter just arrived,

Your papers have been forwarded to the Graduate School. I
think you will have to register as a student, but you can occupy
yourseii exclusively with researck until you get your bearings.

I am sorry that youydid not get your travel grant. However,
the $1920 stipend represents an increase of $400 over the past
two years, and is a very generous anount. You shaild be mite

able to save several hmdred dollars a year fren that amount.

I gegret that I cannot offer vou any additional anamt for
your first year, Nor can I make any promises about later on,
tneugh T will see what can be done.

If you have to cummmicate with me again until Novemher, pou
cen write to me c/o Professor S, D, Rubbe, Department of |
Bacteriology, University of Melbourne, Victoria, AustraMfa,
