I thought you might be interested to know that I'm out of the running since I'll be busy organizing a department of pharmacology at NYU Medical School, starting this July. I'm planning to take advantage of your invitation to stay with you when I come to Madison the last week of this month. According to present plans I will visit Cleveland on Monday and Tuesday, January 25 and 26th, and will arrive in Madison during the day on Wednesday. I hope to stay through Thursday, and possibly Friday. I look forward very much to seeing you and Esther. Cordially, Pe reece Bernard D. Davis
