Dear Lederberg:

~This is just to confirm that the monthly meeting which
Luria and I are jointly running has been definitely set now for Saturday,
the 20th of November, at Chicago. If you get here Friday night in time for
dinner (6 P.M.) we could have dinner together (I expect the Bloomington crowd
to get here for dinner also, if they come by car; otherwise they will have din-
ner on the train, which gets here about 7:45 P.M.). We plan to have an informal

hive te eo

discussion Friday night, also Saturday morning and Saturday evening,

I would suggest that you drop a line to Novick as soon as you

}
know when you will get here, and also state whether you are going to stay over

 

for Sunday, and we will then make the necessary arrangements, We count on your
telling us at your convenience of the results which you obtained since early
summer, and we are anxious to have you go into details, Both Ryan and Luria
told us something of your exciting findings.
We had a rather nice meeting in Bloomington last weekend, with
& Hershey coming from St, Louis and Muller and Sewall Wright participating. Most
ay Re ;
o of it was about phage. We sri to concentrate the discussions of phage at the
| Bloomington meetings, and keep the Chicago meetings broader in scope. This at
least is our plan so far,
Sincerely

Lk eer
