Dear Julians

I was delighted to hear of your appointment, and I know it will be a happy
and fruitful term, both for the U.S. and for Sweden, not to mention yourself.
We have been getting to know Stockholm surprisingly well, having visited it
twice this year (in August for the Microbiology Congress, and again, as you
know, earlier this month). We will also be there agtm again, as I have deferred
my Nobel lecture until May 31, 1959 (which happens to be the commencement day
for the M.D,s at the Karolinska Institute.)

The main point of my writing 1e as well summarized in the enclosed corres-
pondence. Fron his previous work, Caspersson does have a rather unique orfenta~
tgion for automated chemical microanalysis, and there may be some real use in
establishing liabson between him (to the extent of his interest) and operational
planning for space missile experiments.

By the time you get this, we should be séttled at Stanford (Dept. Genetics).

ftuuka Between April 1 - June 30 + we will be based at the Institute of Genetios

at Pavia, Italy. Dr. George Klein, at the Karolinkka, will have our up to date
itinerary,

Allis best wishes, and a prosperous new year,

Sincerely,

Joshua Lederberg
