bear Josh:

Thenk you for tne suggestions for tne instructorsaip we
were trying to fill. We finelly nirea Roger Weinberg, wno hes been
working with Bertani curing tne pest year.

I wonder if I coula entice you to stop over end visit us
at Pittsburgh when you ere in the neighbornooa. I vould lixe very
much to aiscuse some of my work witn you end near whet you sre aoing.
Also, I em trying to organize a seminer tnis yeer and woula like very
much to have you on the progrem. The vepertment has asad no semwiners
for years, and your oerticipation would not only provide the oaaly
needed "shot in the arm", but would elso be or tremenuous nelp in
the entire reorgenization of tne bacteriology curriculum at Pitt
thet I heve initieted. Unfortunately, there is no money in the
budget for exoenses of seminer speakers, but we nave rented a lerge
nouse here end have emole room to put you ena ssther up. I ao nove
you can make it.

Sincerely,
