Dear Dr, Lederberg:

Many thanks for your encouraging letter of July 14, I would
certainly like to discuss with you your definition of a "carefully oriented"
fund raising program for gerontological research, The problem of how to
allocate my time more effectively in seeking research funds is of paramount
importance, When I have finished some basic biochemical "homework'!

I shall be in touch with you, Until my chemical education is more complete,
it is doubtful that I could speak effectively to interested donors of substantial
research funds,

Iam most willing to assist you in any way I can in raising the one
million dollars you need for research facilities at Stanford. Any data you
have on the history, present facilities, scope of research, etc,, of your
laboratory would be helpful, Within the next year I expect to contact many
foundations and individuals who are potential donors for your work, You know
much better than I what should be sent to them, hence the success of such
efforts will be much greater if you will suggest in detail the presentation which
you want me to make to them,

NAA 72

With very best regards,
