PRIVY COUNCIL oth October, 1963.

Dear Joshua,

I have been bombarded by invitations from, apparently,
the whole West Coast of America, arising out of my visit to
San Francisco, but an invitation from you is something quite
different! As far as I know, I have no engagement over lunch-
time and the early afternoon of Friday, October 18th (there is
a Press Conference later that day). Hitherto, I have declined
every single invitation on the grounds that all my time should
properly be put at the disposal of my hosts. I feel pretty sure
it would be quite all right with Martin Shearn*, the general
organiser, if I were to steal away midday on Friday, and
if this would, in fect, suit you, would you leave a note for
me in the Fairmont Hotel to await my arrival? I really must
not miss this opportunity to see you again.

veuva a

Yours ever,

Dr. J. Lederberg,

Department of Genetics,

Stanford University School of
Medicine,
