Dear Josh:

Boris Rotman whom you may know briefly is going to

apply for a postdoctorate fellowship and he would very
mich like to spend it in your laboratory. He is a very
gifted person who has a very good background in chemistry
as well as in microbiology. He could prove to be helpful
in many ways and I know he would greatly benefit from
contact with your ideas and approaches,

Please let me know as soon as you can whether you have the
space and inclination to accept him.. If the thing goes
through, he would be ready to start in the fall.

Sincerely yours,

sek
