I hope that I shall be able to spend the morning of April 11 with you and Esther in the laboratory. I have had the greatest difficulties in getting any enzyme activities in lysates of 'Gal 9'. I am trying again and also running '3265, Gal 3'. When I join Hopkins we will get much more steam on that program. At present I am doing it alone and mainly in the evenings. Hope to have some results. I had a letter from Gopal; he will be here the 24th, Looking forward to seeing both of you. Sincerely, Herman M. Kalckar HMK: Lh P.S.
