Dear Joshua, ~

Many thanks for your note. After discussing -
the matter with Gus, I have written to Morison at the
Rockefeller Foundation asking whether the Foundation would
sponsor the travel side of the Nossals' trip. including a month
or two in Europe on the way back to Australia in 1960-61.
The general tone of the letter was that Nossal was going to
be a key figure in the Institute's immunological work after
his return and that we wanted him to get experience and
insight from American work and European contacts - without
any more financial worry than is inevitable.

Iam still deep in the revision of Principles of
Animal Virology for a new edition and have nothing on the |
immunological side to report,
Kindest regards,
Yours sincerely,

F, M. Burnet
