Miss Phyllis Fried,
96 Avenue C,
New York 9g N.Y.

Dear Miss Fried:

I am pleased to be able to tell you that the research funds
sncompassing your stipend as a research assistant here next Fall
have been approved, so that you may take this letter as a formal
notification, .

Your first check will be available October 8, 1950. Registra~
tion will begin about Sept. 11, but it may be advisable for you
to arrive during the preceding week in order to arrange for housing.
Dormitory space, managed by the University, will probably not be
available to entering non-resident graduate students, but the Uni-
versity Housing Bureau lists a number of approved private houses,
as well as accomodations for individual students in private homes.

Since I will not be here, inaall likelihood, for a few days after
you arrive, I will leave instructions with Professor James F. Crow,
of this department, coneerning registration and the like.

Madison is on the route bothsof the Chicago & Northwestern RR and
of the Milwaukee Road, approximately three hours from Chicago. There
is also direct flight service to Madison via Northwest Airlines. Upon
your arrival, I recommend that you first contact Dr. Crowg and then
the Housing Bureau. -

Looking forward to seeing you here,
Sincerely,

Joshua Lederberg
Assistant Professor of Genetics
