Dear Josh:

It is only a few weeks since you were here but I have not had
time even to catch my breath and write to you about developments that have
occurred since you left.

First, I have learned that Alan Granoff is definitely looking
for a position. I have mentioned to him through an intermediary (Werner
Henle) that he should contact you. Granoff is an able individual who
thinks in quantative terms in biological research. I understand that
he is not a genius but that he is a very reliable worker and if you need
a man specializing in Virology who would conduct such type of research,
you may perhaps want to consider him,

He is now despondent because of the death of his wife and
he must now take care of his three children. I ath sure the climate in
Palo Alto would be much more conducive to recovery from grief than any
we could offer in the East and this might appeal to him strongly.

I have written to Tyroler that I expect to be in Washington
January 3lst and we have an appointment to meet in his office at 3:30
that afternoon. I will let you know the outcome.

We are starting experiments in macrophages or lymphocytes
and checking to see if we will be able to express the peripolesis re-
action in quantative terms. I am following the Nossal schedule in mice
and hope that we will get a larger percentage of cells labeled than he
did in order to get clear-cut results of peripolesis reaction.

If I can be of any further help to you with your parents,
don*t hesitate to ask. Let me know what you decide ultimately.

Warmest regards to you and Esther.
He yours,
Hilary Hon] M.D.
