Dear Dean Berry:

Thank you for your cordial letter of July 8. As 1 am, however, accepting
a chair in Genetics at Stanford University to take effect next spring, there
would be no immediate purpose to the discussions you suggested,

| am grateful to Professor Davis and yourself for your consideration.

Yours sincerely,

Joshua Lederberg
Chairman, Department of Medicd|
