Dear Josh:

The Departments of Genetics and Medical Genetics here expect
to move into their new pbuilding next January. It is proposed to
mark occupancy of the greatly improved quarters by a dedicatory
lecture, planned for a general University audience, and to ve
scheduled possibly in March or April. The members of the Genetics
Division have voted enthusiastically to invite you to give the
lecture. We hope that you will accept. This would be most
appropriate and cratifying because of the great impetus your
activities here gave to the science on this carpus.

The Research Committee of the Graduate School will provide
funds for travel and an honorarium. It has expressed its
willingness also to consider, later, assistance in publication of
the address.

The now extensive ramifications of genetics give a speaker
wide scope in the choice of a topic for such a lecture. We are
confident that you would develop a theme that would help us all
in looking ahead.

With personal regards to you and Esther,
Sincerely yours,

‘\W Cy Wo wan
