Dear Bruce:

Do you think you can put up with seeing us again? Esther
and | are making another of our too hasty forays and are scheduled
to be coming through London on Tuesday, May [2th arriving on
Pan Americah Flight !22, scheduled for 3 p.m. We have to hurry
on to Naples for a CIBA Conference there and are presently booked
on the British European Alrways Flight 582 which leaves at 9:45
the next morning. This wil! get us to Naples a bit late for the
start of the meeting and we may possibly revise our schedule to
fly out Tuesday evening but | think this may be somewhat too
Strenuous. After the Naples meeting, we will be going oné to
Milan and to Stockholm In order to fulfil! the main purpose of
the trip which Is to give the Nobel Lecture | had put off
last December. Then we have another CIBA Conference at
Royaumont and after that perhaps we can think of having a bit
of a vacation.

We would appreciate it If you could make some sort of arrangement
for us for the Tuesday night In case we do stay over as planned.
This time | think CIBA House might not be the best answer, first
of all because of the short notice and secondly, since we are
going to be a bit tardy at Naples. If it is at all possible, we
do hope to have a chance to see you more leisurely on our return.

Yours as ever,

Joshua Lederberg
