Dear Mr. Lederberg:

It is a happy occasion for me when I can send to a candidate for a
fellowship the final word that the fellowship has been awarded. I therefore .
take pleasure in sending to you a copy of the letter to Professor Sinnott
notifying him of the actionof our Board of Managers in appointing you a
Fellow of The Jane Coffin Childs Memorial Fund for Medical Research and
in. making a grant for the fellowship. I hope you will read the letter of
notification carefully and let me know whether the conditions of the fellow-
ship are acceptable to you.

if any publication results from the work which you will be doing
during the period of the fellowship, it should carry an acknowledgment to the
Fund as indicated in the letter of notification. If you will advise me at
the time when the manuscript is accepted for publication, I can arrange to
have 125 copies purchased, of which 25 copies are to be sent to this Fund
for binding in our Collected Papers.

we hope that the period of your stay in New Haven will be profitable.
It will be a privilege to see if we may be of any assistance in accomplishing
that desire. You will recall that we discussed the opportunities available
of visiting a number of laboratories at Yale in which problems of normal and
abnormal growth are being investigated. There will be, I hope, some meetings
of the Atypical Growth Research Unit after you have come to New Haven. I
will be glad to have you visit me in this office and will be pleased to assist
in making arrangements for you to visit such laboratories as you may wish.

Sincerely yours,

R. G.\iieader
