Dear Joshs

I hasten to reply to your letter of January 19th. You do me too much honor in
indicating that I am in charge of the Symposium on Growth Inhibition and
Chemotherapy. I mrely suggested some names to Dr. Chain, for his considera-
tion.

I very much hope you will appear on the program. Dr. Cavalli has already been
invited by Dr. Chain; and whether you give separate papers, or a joint paper,
is something you can work out with Cavalli. Dr. Chain would probably be
agreeable to either alternative. My owm suggestion would be that you present
separate paper’ and if you find it impossible to attend, Cavalli could perhaps
read your paper.

Bernie Davis is going to give a paper in the Symposium on Microbial Metabolism,
and for that reason will not be on this one. Ernest Jawetz will be asked to
discuss antagonism and synergism; and Herbert Morgan will be asked to discuss
bacterial and virus inhibition by metabolite antagonists. There will also be
a paper on the chemistry of the never antibiotics. Of the European workers,
Chain is asking Cavalli, Albert, Macheboeuf, Hawking, and Work. Needless to
say, I trust you will consider these names in confidence.

Cordially,
