Dear Henry:

To my delight it is my duty to transmit the request of
our advisory committee that you be invited to address the
Rockefeller University as the next Philip Levine Lecturer.

I hope you will honor the University, and you will accept
for a time that gives me the personal pleasure of introducing
you myself.

We would try to accommodate any evening date of your
choice this spring, Mondays through Thursdays. May I suggest
that the simplest recourse would be to ask that your secre-
tary call my office to negotiate a date. We will be armed
here with the best alternatives with respect to the avail-
ability of Henry Kunkel, Philip Levine himself, and others
who would be particularly disappointed if they could not
hear you. I would not want the complex'ity of our joint
schedules to get in the way of the primary motif which is the
satisfaction of my colleagues and the research community of
the city.

The endowment for this Lectureship permits us to offer
your usual travel expenses plus an honorarium of $1500.

Hoping to hear from you by phone or by mail, and with
best wishes to Leah,

Yours cordially,
\ ,
