Dear Josh:

We were very pleased to learn that you are willing to read
the manuscript on microsomal antibody by Kern, Helmreich and myself.
When I called you yesterday I felt reasonably sire that we co:Jd com-
plete the writing before leaviny for vacation a few days hence. How-
ever a more sober appraisal of the short time remaining and the pressure
of other work and, most importantly, the fact that we finally decided
to do one more experiment that will require freshly immunized animals
has led us to put off completing the work until we return from vaca-
tion in September. We hope then to send you the manuscript, probably
around the end of September and hope yo: find it satisfactory for /he.

After a remarkably cool June and July the weather in St. Louis
has reverted to its usual summer state - hot and sticky. We look
forward to leaving for Woods Hole the day after tomorrow. With kindest
personal regards, and warm wishes to the Kormbergs, Cohns, I am

Sincerely,

Uhre
