Dear Josh:

Garrod's classical book if it is not outlandishly expensive.

| think | would be interested in obtaining a copy of (Perbof
ongeret

Let me know some time what the cost would be.

Are you going to accept Hardin Jones' invitation to
S attend the Conference on Aging? ! would enjoy going, except
for two reasons. One is that | don't know anything about
yw aging and have practically nothing to contribute to such a

conference. The second is that | have gotten involved with
quite a number of other activities and have been trying to
cut down rather than add. However, if you and a few other
people of interest were planning to attend, I might take a
different view of this, for | would like an opportunity to
participate in a conference at which you and such people as
Kim Atwood would be present. Let me know some time what
your plans are.

Things are moving along fairly smoothly here. The biggest
difficulties are purely physical. We still haven't got the
building entirely finished, though most of it is, and we are
now moved into it for the most part.

| just read your Nobel paper for the second time and
enjoyed it even more than the first. My earlier comment about
the word ingeneous was based on a difference between the Science
article and the Nobel Prize article. 1 know which one you meant.

Best wishes.

Sincerely,
