Dear Norton:

80 far, I have not received any word concorming the ronewnal of the
NIA grant for the Salmonelle research next year, but this ie probably
maly a delay by Congress in the passage of the appropriation billie.

All mail hence should be forwerded to Berkeley. Ye will be paseing through
there enrly next week, but will probably travel northward for come days
before setting there.

ZI hope, by now, that you will have received a statement frem the
accounting office, via Sette, concerning the balance remuintng in the
1949-50 “I! account, exptring July 32. after your July salary ia deducted,
and allowance made fer Saryenbruch's pay, tho balanee enn all be used
for general eupply purchases. It may be advisable te check the Acotg Off
statement as to whether it inolules tha comiit¢sent for your calary. Two
other things to check: .}) thosheet metal. shop, for cont ani delivery on

of the balancing ad juetnent.

I hops you will have made some tolerable oljuetment of your finanofal
problens.

paterialising? I saw Byatt, Jann and Salle (stavh transformation) at
UCLA Tvenday» You were right! ~ alocho] on p 78), 7 lines up from hotten,
refers to anyl, not ethyl! What a etyléS Miss Byatt ecaid that the prepara~
tiene are by no means uniformly successful. They don't seem te be deing much
more with the system.

Please give our regards to Dr. Brink, Crow, and Genetica mtx at large.
