Dear Mr. Aronson:

I hope this proposal will neet Dr. Spurway's requirement (per her letter of
4/1) and yours.

1. Draft an irrevocable power of attorney-in-fact, authorizing me to act
on her behalf, in form suitable to you for present purposes.

2. I will then negotiate a contract with you as outlined in your letter
to her. I believe your offer is quite appropriate to the circumstances.

3. This contract should have the proviso that accumulated royalties will
remain in your hands, to be paid out only as I may direct, to Spurway, or
to her nominee or to any charitable cause. After five years, the balance
will be paid over to her. This provision will, I believe, protect her and
myself from being charged with constructive income not actually received.

4. In consideation there66 you will not restrict her rights of separate
publication in India.

Sincerely yours,

Joshua Lederberg
