Dear Josh,

We really are most grateful to you again for your
efforts on our behalf. The possibility of a post at
Madison is an extremely tempting one, and I hope that
something can be arranged. We have seen a bit of the
campus at Madison, of course, and visited the algal
research unit, all of which left us with a very
favourable impression. The prospect of being with
phycologists, within consulting distance of microbial

geneticists and of enzyme chemists, is a very rosy
one.

I'll be writing to Dr Skoog direct, but I thought

I'd acknowledge your letter of August 4th to let you
know of my reaction.

Best wishes,

Easy.

Ralph A. Lewin.
