Dear Lederberg:

Many thanks for your letter of February 18. I am so swamped with cor-
respondence as a result of my Letter to the Editor, that I have difficulty
in catching up. I would like to come to Madison, but I have no immediate
plans to go to the Mid West, nanging Sy nostly in the Eastfin New York at
the King's Crown Hotel, 0 W. 116th st.) and lately also in Washington.

Still I shall keep your letter in mind and perhaps something can be
arranged.

Fnclosed you will find a clipping and also a copy of a memorandum
which states further what I am trying to do. I have little hope to be able
to raise the necessary funds from any of the large foundations.

Sincerely yours,

Aptlhbur

Leo Szilard
