Dear Dr, Lederberg,

I'm sorry to hear that Dot is lecving, Remembering
her quiet competence, J can sappreciste your desire to
fill ner position with someone as ecepeble, However,

I know of no qualified person who is looking for a
job, As for myself, I am not contempl-ting a chrenge
at the present time, If I hear of someone, I shell
refer her to you,

I feel an almost nostalgic sadness at the thought
that the old lab is to be no more, But Itm sure you
will have no trouble adapting to the luxury of thore
spacious quarters,

The Ryans, it appears from their letters, ere
getting the VIP treatment in Japan, We are learning
to brew green tes and practising our bows in entici-
pation of their return,

Regards to Dot snd Esther, and my best wishes for
a happy New Year to #11 of you,

Sincerely,

Sean's
