Dear Joshua:

I received vour note regarding the "shattering
reaction" described by Revnolds and should have
written vou sooner, I remembered reading the
article many years ago and recalled part of a
discussion with Dr. C. V, Taylor that followed,

But until your card came I did not think of

Revnolds' experiments, Thanks so much for

writing me; we (IG and J. Wilson) referred to

the paper -- thanks to you, Pupsr ow Lpt PNAS /

So sorry you and Esther weren't at the meetings
in Japan. I had a very interesting time. Never
have I packed so many experiences in so Pew days
before! Coming back on MATS was rather rugged
because we had to wait so long before leaving
the Airport Base -- altogether four nights without
much sleep. Japan is beautiful and I hope vou
have an opportunity to see the country some time,
You will because vou are both so young.

Thank you for the recent reprints. Perhaps
you sent them to Dr, Tatum: anywav I have them.

Best wishes for a successfu] year,

Sincerely,

Aenre Garuprtil
