Dear Joshua:

I can readily understand that your schedule for
next spring is so busy that you cannot now take on
another trip. However, I seize upon the second
sentence in the second paragraph of your letter to
suggest that if indeed another more important reason
should bring you East at any time during the current
academic year, it would be a simple matter for us to
schedule a lecture by you on rather short notice.

Our plans for satellite telescopes are still at
a very early stage, and there would be very little
we could send you of value. However, I shall be very
glad to keep you informed as the plans develop. I
might also suggest that Lyman Spitzer at Princeton
and Fred Whipple at Smithsonian have been at the
business much longer than we and would, I am sure,
be glad to let you see what they have done.

With best regards, I am

Sincerely,

Leo Goldberg
