Madison 6, Wisconsin.

Dear Josh:

As you may know, I recently received a letter from Professor R. F. Holland,
Department of Dairy Indusirv, Vornell. Max Zelle is leaving Cornell to take
a headship of the biology section of the AKC. Dr. Holland is therefore interested in

obtaining a microbial geneticist to replace ‘lax. JI intend to indicate my
willingness to consider the position at Cornell. I would like to submit pe"
your name as a reference. y pr

Sermonti is off on a tour of Galifornia. He will be back in about a weck.

He will be in Madison on Nov. 21 to see Stauffer and Backus. He leaves for

New Haven at the end of this month.

I hope to see you in Madison before you depart for Stanford. I know that you
will be extremely busy during the next few weeks. Ifyou could indicate some

time that might be satisfactory with you, I will certainly try to meet your $f
schedule. If you are so tied up that a visit seems unwise, dg not hesitate

to say so. I will certain understanc. We will meet many times in the near
future.

My very best wishes to you and yours.
