Dear Joshua,

iuca has told me of your telephone call. I am very
grateful that you and Halsted are considering the oppor-
tunity of offering me a position in your University.

I have still the ambition of taking an active, al-
though modest part, to the next advances of medical re-
search and Stanford would certainly be the ideal place
for that. Here on the contrary I must wait two-three
(or more) years before minimal research facilities will
become painfully available. Of course the decision of lea
ving Italy for ever is not an easy one to taken. As I have
written to Halsted, I plan to come to the States not later
than May 4th, because I want to keep the validity of my
immigrant visa. If the decisions of you and your collegues
should develope favourably, I could extend my journey to
the West Coast.

Best regards to Esther.
Sincerely yours
