Dear Professor Lederberg:

During last decade, we have been realizing the
importance of molecular genetics and from that point
of view we are now planning and making various
efforts for establishment of an institute of this
field at Osaka University.

To bring into realization of this institute as
soon as possible, it is important and also powerful
for us to have supports not only from our country
but also from world wide famous scientists like you
in the case of negotiation with Japanese government;

Therefore, we shall be very much obliged to you
if you would send us a letter to give courage in
order to realize our desire, as soon as possible.

Very sincerely yours,
