MADISON 5, WISCONSIN

New York - July 23, 1956
Dear Josh:

I hope that by this time you are back in Madison, I
Calculated that you weren't there before so I didn't bother to
write.

To write about our trip to New York and subsequent
events would take a book. The take off from Madison was only
one of the "usual" ones.

It was very useful to come to ™, ¥. with a few days
to spare because I found that my visa wasn't ready. I had to
cable to Chile to get it. I was lucky to obtain,instead of a
regular visa,ane which is called: "subject to corteact". Jn this
way I will not endanger my citizenship.

I talked with Mr. Mann, President of the Mann Research
Laboratories, a few days ago. I was surprised to find him a very
nice person with very liberal ideas. We spent a great deal of
time talking about things in general. It became obvious during
my conversation with Mr. Mann that what Quimotecnica needs is
more propaganda. Mann was able to give me a list of seven or
more products which he is willing to buy immediately, at prices
ranging from 40 to 170 dollars a gram. He said that hks Company
does not have enough time to manufacture all the orders he gets.

In short, I decfea to cooperates with him and an
agreement will be made shortly after*I consult my partners in
Chile. Mann's Company will be our exclusive distributor in the
USA and he will take care of furnishing me with literature, ma%s-
erials, etc. I made a provision in the agreement stating that
Quimotecnica will designate a person who could place orders for
our products through Mann's Company. This person will receive
20 % of the list price for this service. If you are interested
in the deal I will be glad to suggests your name for the position.

Therefore, I will appreciate very much if you could
mail the bottle with the ONPG in the form we discussed before,
insured, postage postpaid. Please record the amount of ONPG
left according to the label on the bottle (include the two grams
for Holdman). The address iss: Mann Research Laboratories, 136
Liberty Street, New York 6, N. Y.

With regard to the manuscript I sent to J. Bact. I
took note of your suggestion, thank you. I will write Porter
to send the galley proofs directly to me to save you work.

Best regards for Esther and you from Raquel and I.
