dear Josh,

To my formal congratulations on your new commencement let me ada

my formal thanks for letting me share the ceremonies, It wag very
much like you to remember me and so many other parts of your past
and to engender this kind of super-reunion, I hardly need say that
I was moved by your reminiscences of Prancis--through Faul Marks--
as a truffle hound, You must feel by now that any debt you have had
to fd has been well and truly repaid,

Recently I was sent the enclosed page from Fhilanthropic Digest by
my friend (and former apartment-mate), Helen Lowe. i'n a stranger
to the politics of management, but she would like somehow to let you
know that the president of the college where she is Director of
Jevelopment, larymount Manhattan College, is interested in the Coun-
cil on Science and Tevhhology for Development, You may recall that
you met the president, Sister Colette Mahoney (Ph.5. in Blolory
from Fordham) here at Sunday breakfast years ago, Although I con-
Sider Sister Colette very intelligent, I have no way of judging her
competence in the field of the problems of developing countries; how
then could you judge? But I toss you the ball and trust that you
will know what to do with it. If I can be of assistance, let me
know, Marymount Manhattan is at 221 East 7lst ot., LOOzI,

 

Iwas delishted on Monday with your comment about feeling like a
teen-ager, May your spirits always soar; may your ingenuity suffice;
may your intelligence be challenged but not bested by this grand

new opportunity,

with all best wishes, fondly,

Che bth
