Dear Josh, —— - . mo ° : “oo

Thank you for your receat letter, I am most grateful for the various.
efforts which you are making -on my behgif. I have,for: the present, decided not
to procede any further with the Kansas appointment, =~ os

Since my last letter, to you I have had a letter from Dr, Morris Shaffer
of Tulane. He writes that he is trying to obtain funds to Spen-some research
and teaching programmes in entaric bacteriology and that “he: wonders whether I
might be interested, Although he does not provide much det

ail - [I have written
to ask for more - there are Some attractive

facets to the appointment. Against
this, however, must be set the fact that neither Helen n

or myself have a great
desire to settle ig the south,

There is one insertion to be made in the curriculum v

itae which you
sent, The date 1945 should be put after the MRCS,LRCP

entry. Does one include
‘in press' papers on these things? If so,there should be entered ! A new

phage type of Salm.paratyphi B responsible for a large outbreak of food-
poisoning Mon.Bull.Min. Hlth, I was rather interested to see this ceurriculum

because the term was virtually unknown to me

used in England - and I was wondering just wh

until very recently ~ it is not

at one was supposed to put in them,
I have an interssting little phage problem at the moment,
out of purely routine international reference work,
determining (cogverting) phage serologically indisti
earliest described (dl) but it has the interesting property of determining
two different Vi-phage resistance: patterns in a lysogenised host depending on
the temperature, At present I am trying to define the
region closely but it appears to lie between 36°
more clearly worked out TI canno
mechanisms involved, .

It has arisen
There is a new typhi type
nguishable from one of the

critical temperature
and 39°, Until I have this
t go on to trying to elicidate the possible

Best wishes to Esther and yourself from Helen,

Yours sincerely,
