Dear Josh:

Needless to say I waa sorry to read the information
contained in your last Istter. JI must, however, confess
that it did not cane as too mch ofa swrrise ginca I
just returmed from the east where I spent a day in Tatum's
laboratory. They had already told me atout the gad collapse
of tha Ytolvin story, and also their canplete inability to
get any reply or other cultures from hime

Frankly, I do not understand the whole tusimss. I
shall, however, as you suggest, try writing him directly
and see what I turn up. If I am more suceessful, than ny
predecessors, I shall, of course, ta havoy to send the cultures
ar ounde

Ths latest reasonat ly well confirmed rumour is that
John is soing to Tufts Medical Colleze in Boston. There
are no reasonably well confirmed rumours with respect to
myself. “Jill let you Imow when scme food ones come up.
I do not ymow when or if I am soins to Ninmanolis.

With best regards,

Sincerely yours,

Sok
