Dear Dr. Kolb;

So much is happening in the field
of drug addiction; both in terms of
developing research as well as changing
attitudes on the part of so many people
that I just wanted to write to you that
you should feel very gratified that your
tireless work to make people think is
at last bearing fruit.

It is exgiting to know that here at
Rockefeller Institute they are beginning
both chemical”“and behavioral studies on
the addicted addict. It is surprising,
when one reves the literature, to see
that only two addicts have been studied
while addicted. And those studies are
limited at best. Prejuidice can creep
right into the creative abilities of
science!

Meanwhile I am learning a lot about
addicts on drugs, simple things such as
that they gain weight, keep themselves
neat, read, study etc. Imagene being
an"authority"™ on drugs and just finding
these things out?

I hope you will pay us a visit if
and when you come to New York.

Warmest regards,
