Dear Qoctor McKhaun:

We thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Huttenlocher's visit out here and are
very grateful to you for introducing him to us. I would like to
refer you to ay letter of 17 January 1962 since I do not believe
there is any necessity for me to repeat that we would like you to join
us here at the previously agreed upon rank and salary. We realize
fully the problema of an investigative program in neurochemistry and
the need for apace and initiating funds. I de not think that I need to
go into much detail as to the obvious support you would get from us
in that direction. As you know we believe that the nevrological signs
a@re probably one of the most important aspects of Pediatrics and,
therefore, require wholehearted support within the Department.

Fron our previous conversation I am assuming that this offer
would be effective as of February 1, 1963. Since we have now met
and considered you and Dr. Huttenlocher, I think it only fair that we
receive a decision fron beslea you within the next couple of weeks.

I have written to Dr. Adame informing him that we were interested
and it is only appropriate that you both discuss these offers with
him and Dr. Dodge. I might add that if there is any problem or doubt,
you or Dx. Huttenlocher should feel free to call me so that we could
have some discussions.

I hope that with these additions and changes in yours and my
thoughts, you will find it relatively easy to make a decision and to
accept our offer.

Sincerely yours,

Norman Kretchmer, M. D., Ph. D.
Professor and Executive Head
