PRESIDENT

Mr. William T. Golden
40 Wall Street
New York, New York 10005

Dear Bill:

Forgive the delay in thanking you for your recent
unrestricted contribution to the University. I am
allocating your gift to the Presidential Research Fund,
which has been established to provide the short-term
support so often critical to the expeditious pursuit of
important new research leads or purchase of essential
equipment. Your thoughtful generosity is deeply appre-
ciated.

During my first few months here I have been greatly
heartened by the strong commitment to this institution's
goals which many people have demonstrated. With the
assistance of such actively involved friends as you, I
am confident that this remarkable place will be able to
vigorously and successfully meet the challenges ahead.

Sincerely,

Joshua Lederberg
