SIR MACFARLANE BURNET, O.M., F.R.S.
6th January, 1959

Dear Josh,

Many thanks for your offer to make way for me
at the Royaumont meeting but I should much prefer that the
arrangement suggested by Wolstenholme should stand, with my
only responsibility to try to give a summary af aa position as a
start to the final discussion.

oe

 

I have a very heavy burden of lectures for this trip.
Opening. dis cussion for a Pragué symposium on antibody soon
contribution to Ciba Anniversary Symposium in Londen, so it would.
be too iuch to provide another and necessarily different
contribution for Royaumont.
}

The Cambridge. Press should have the expanded
Vanderbilt lectures out very sobn.’ You can take it that the
discussion of homeostasis, emérgence of forbidden clones kc.
that I am preparing primarily for the Croonian Lectures will bea
little more sophisticated and I father fancy will bring my point of
view so close to yours that the difference will have to be argued
at semantic rather than experimental levels.

 

If'I can get them finished before the deadline I shall
send you a pre-copy to keep you up to date.

All good wishes for the early stages of the
Stanford job, ‘

Yours sincerely,
