THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AUSTIN, TEXAS 78712 The Cell Research Institute November 6, 1968 Professor Joshua Lederberg Department of Genetics Stanford University School of Medicine — Palo Alto, California 94504 : Dear Joshua: This is literally the first chance I have had to thank you for coming to Austin and for giving the two talks. Your second talk stirred up things not only here, but by remote influence in Dallas. Anybody who can stir wp anything here in a possibly constructive manner has to be as good as I think you are. I should like to re-express my thanks. Incidentally, we taped your second talk, and after I get some momentarily critical things out of the way, I would like to have it transcribed and see what it looks like in reference to a possible article for the Journal. Before going ahead, of course, we would seek your permission and approval. Right now, I can't even get started on it, be- cause I am under serious pressure to get seven other tapes transcribed and edited before Christmas. Cordially yours, WGW:sb awa or
