Dear Wilson:

My plans are a bit of a mess right now. 1 am still expecting to
spend the fall term and perhaps the summer with Lederberg at Stanford.
But there Is one complication; § am now acting as Dean of the Medical
School. There is a good chance of our having a permanent Dean by the
beginning of summer, In which case | would got there then. But, If the
search Is not successful, § may have to stay on longer.

1 haven't had a chance yet to read Bledsoe's papers. { would be
glad to work some with him when | get to Stanford, though of course |
don't want to have too many things to detract from my working with Josh.

1 don't know how to advise you or him; the chances of my belng in Stanford
for the fal) term at least are very good, but the probability Is not 1.

Hurrledly,

James F. Crow.
