Dear Ted:

Thank you for your letter of the 23d. The possibility of a visit
next summer sounds very attractive. I do not have any courses in the
Spring session, so there is not likely to be any conflict with a June
date. Our plans for next sumer are completely open right now. If,
prior to definite settlement of this arrangement, anything should come
up that might conflict with it, I will of course let you know right away.
In turn, I would appreciate word from you of the customary dates and any
other obviously material details of your summer appointments.

I will be very happy to see your promised ms., though I doubt if I
can make any expert comment on it.

Yours sincerely,

Joshua Lederberg _

P.S. Though the sentiment indicated is gratifying, I am sorry that my
absence from the CSH symposium was noticed. I hope it did not excite
unwarranted speculation. Mostly, I was just weary enough that the energy
cost seemed to high in proportion to the value, though I'm sorry to have
missed the opportunity to see old friends. (Even for this, I can suggest
more propitious surroundings than the symposium would have offered.
