Dear Dr. Lederberg,

Your letter arrived while I was away in Western Australia but
Mr. Mackay, our Divisional Secretary, instantly attempted to get in
touch with Geoffrey Rossiter. He was unable to do so since Rossiger
had already left for the meeting of Directors in Sydney.

However, although the meeting is over, Mackay got hold of
Rossiter this morning to obtain the latest information before I
replied to your letter, having in the meantime returned. Rossiter
is convinced that the application will be approved. In fact, the
the query regarding a possible extension was due to the fact that
he would have liked you to extend your visit to Australia.

In the circumstances, my colleagues here and I are wry heppy
_ to. know that in all probability you will be visiting Australia next
_ year and we very much look forward to have you here although the
time will be short. Frank Fenner has been in touch with me rogending\|
arrangements for the symposium at the mettonet University and no doubt \
_ we shall be in touch with you later on.

I have been so busy and away so much lately that I have not a
been able to. setile down to thinking about anything that could be
postponed. | : oo

Au revoir’ next year and best wishes: tor: ‘an, ‘enjoyable and E

profitable time in Australia.

With ‘kindest regards,”

"Yours sincerely,

~antllin.
