Dear Gus:

Needless to say we will be happy to send you the optics that
you asked for In your letter te Boris. Don't worry about It, we will
take care of it for you one way or the other. Harshaw's problem was
probably that they Just did not get decent delivery from Zeiss = you
probably would have done best of all to order the equipment directly
from the manufacturer or nearby while you were In Europe. Indeed, you
might still wish to try to pursue this course of action and if we can
help you In any way by cancelling duplicate orders, please let us know.

! should think this would be particularly appropriate for the micro
forges - If they are not In stock In the states - that you could get
one of French manufacture more or less on the spot.

The Herzenberg Infant ts, as far as | know, thriving, but the
original dlagnosis seems quite certain and they have decided to place
him In a private foster home rather than face the difficulties of
bringing him up In the same milieu as thelr other children. As far as
appears on the surface they have weathered the storm pretty well and are
pretty well back In thelr normal routine.

i'm not surprised at the note of weariness In your letter - there
certainly does come a time when you want to put your roots down and get to
work.

Best of luck to you both,

Sincerely,

Joshua Lederberg
