Dear Marvin:

John McCarthy tells me you have decided not to accept our
offer. I am extremely sorry to hear that. We'll keep you very
much in mind, and hope for better luck another time.

John also said that you might be interested in visiting
Stanford during your second semester and summer of 1965. I
would be delighted to see you here, and feel sure that we could
make an offer of a visiting professorship for such a period.
Whether the offer would be solely from Computer Science, or
partly from Genetics, would depend on what you wanted to do
during that period. 1 hope you would teach one course or seminar
during our ten week spring quarter of 1965 (April and May).

I hope to hear from you soon, confirming your plans for 1965.

Sincerely yours,

George E. Forsythe
