Mr. Norton Zinder,
2850 Claflin avenue,
New York 63, N.Y.
Dear Mr. Zinder,

Although I have not yet heard from your references, as I explained in
my previous letter, I have decided to take a chance and recommend you for
a Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation Kesietahtphifh effective July 1.
Although formal action by the Borzrd of Regents will be required, it is
unlikely that there will be any untoward development. Can you be here by
the lst of July, or very soon thereafter ? There would still be time to
register (late) for summer session. If you prefer, you can begin in the Fall
provided you take care of the bacteriology laboratory experience that I
suggested previously. Please telegraph your acceptance and conditions attached
thereto.

Under the circumstances, this award will have to be on a probationary

basis, deperiding on your performahce this summer and the completion of

your letters of refernce.
