Dear Josh:

Many thanks for all your notes. Health
has been restored -- thanks to your doctoring --~
except perhaps for some evidence of mental deteriora-
tion, as may best be demonstrated by a willingness on
my part to indulge in an assumption that I may have
some capacities to head the Development Committee!
Needless to say, I had the temerity to say yes because
of the comfort derived from the numbers of extraordinary
people at the University, including of course yourself,
Rod and all those now engaged in the development effort.

To the extent that I can aid the cause, I
surely will do my best.
Sincerely,

ma

LAN
