Dear Josh:

Thank you for your very kind letter of 29 September. The
fact that you found time to read the document was satisfying
in itself. I feel especially flattered that you indicated an
interest in my ow personal reflections on science in the
United States. You have given me an idea - maybe some day.

Sincerely yours,

William V. Consolazio
