Dear Dr. Lederberg:

It_ was a great pleasure to know that you
are satisfied with Mr.(ing, and I am very grateful for the
interest you are taking“In him.

Beyond doubt, Mr. Iino needs further gui-
dance which he would not find in any comparable way in the Mi-
Sima institute. The only reason for calling him back. from his
originally for one year planned visit to U, &S. A. was his po-

sition here which would have to remain vacant for a longer
time,

Since kr. Tino has found in you a power-
ful-and eloquent advocate to plead his cause, I am agreeable
that he may stay in your Institute, if you wish so, as long
as you consider it advisable.

Sincerely yours,
