Dear Lucar

I will not teke time now to give you an account of our further

journeys except to confirm our safe return and to tell you as I am
sure you knew very well how much we enjoyed our visit in Italy with
you, I have a funny story to tell you about being held up in custome
because otir bacrare reristered a very high count, but I will poatrone
this until we see you next spring, Which reminda me, by the way, that
we are very oager to hear from you with respect to your immediate rlans,
eapecially as we might be able te do some advance scouting of benefit

with respect to a clace for you to stay. IJ am sure that you would
be telling us about this at the esrliest occasion anyhow,

The immediate provocation for my writing to you at this inetant
was to ask whether you were acquainted with a number of rapere by
several authora including &, Iseki at Gunma University in Jepan, Hie
eddress ie Department of Legal Medicine, Scheol of Medicine, Gurma
University, Maebashi, Japan, He has a number of reports in the Gunma
Journal of Medical Selences on various blood group substances in bacteria
including some review, Mostly he ie dealing with whet he calle the 0
substance or probably whet ie often referred to as the H substance,
Iseki aleo publishea in the proceedings of the Japan Academy, Let me
know if you have great difficulty in securing access to these periodicals
and if you are interested I will send you my own reprints of these -arers
or alternatively you might write directly to Iseki and I am sure you
would ret a rapid response, This Iseki is the same chap who deseri>ded
the lysogenic conversion in Salmonella concurrently with Uetake.

With all the best from
