Dear Joshua:

I just checked with the Syntex Travel Agent and
it would be very complicated if we paid for your tickets
here and yet tried to have your travel agent at Stanford
get the commission. Therefore, if you prefer that the
travel arrangements proceed through your travel agent,
then I would suggest that you pay him directly and that
we reimburse you.

I have already had a talk with Mr. Hempel and he
will visit us next week. We are greatly indebted to
you and Esther for suggesting him and I am looking forward
to his visit.
