' Budapest,April 27,1958.
Dear Dr. Lederberg,

I am very glad to inform you that I have now some hopes to be 4#&
able to attend the Congress of Yenetics at Montréal because I have
been awarded with a travel grant.However it is truce tie travel de ~
pends on whether I shall get my passeport still in due time ot 12,
TZ so,I have the intention to meet some geneticists in the United
States after the Congress according to the possibilities what I can
arrange concerning the travel and living expenses.Because I am al-
ready invited ta visit The Lilly 4esearch Laboratories and the 80ta-
ny Department of the .Indiana University, this "vicinity" would offer
an onpportunity for me to visit also your Department in Madison,I
think so at least.May I ask you,thbeefore, whether you are in the
position to receive me for some days,because I have to send my ini-
nary for my visit in the United States to Professor Xyan,who is then
making the necessary official informative steps. The exact date I do
not know yet,it de-ends ,of course, on your time too; as far as I
can see now,it should be either about the middle of September of

the second half of October,

we)
o I would very much appreciate if you could’ ne an answer whether
I caw fnto account a visit to the Henetics Department of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin o¢ perhaps there are some difficulties not allowing
it.
With the kindest regards
very sincerely yours
