J. Bogen Wolfram Heumann OVS Dear Joshua! Thank you very much for the prompt answering my questions. I immagine the very voluminous correspondance you have to settle every day and therefore I am particular thanksful for your friendly and detailed information about Dallas. If I under- stand right it is much more problematical to live in Dallas as in the happy area of liadison and it needs good friends to compensate the disadmantages of Dallas. Since it is not absolut undoubtedly that the friends from the Glogne team can fulfil this apparent gap, Barbara and I are not definitely decide@. It is extrem difficult in our situation to form a reso- lution. In the last time I get some small hope for the microbiological Chair at the University in Erlangen and it is perhaps possible to make the following arrangement: to go for two years or so to Dallas and than accept the Microbiology in Erlangen. The decision for a transitory stay in Dallas with the possibility to change back to Germany would be much easier as a definite resolution. I hope up to end of Juli or the beginning of August I have the decision about Erlangen and I can make up my mind. With the best regards to Esther and you from Barbara und yours thanksful / Vv aaH
