Dear Hr. Naar:

Thank you for your letter of July 31, which reached me
during transit. through San Francisoo. I'venot had had a
chance to answer till now.

I am not sure how much clinical interest there will be in
the meetings being held here, and which I will bs attending.

The PEt Genetics Association of Austrlia will be meeting in
CAnberra next week, includiag a one-dny symposium on Genetics
of Ba@feHia and Viruces. The speaiters will include Burnet/ and
Fenner, who are among Australin's best known medicel scientists;
my own part will be introducer and discussion. Would you

be interested in a writeup of this? a

En route, I stopped over at Honclulu (pure tourism) and Piji,
where we stayed with Dr. Roy Bdmonde: I was amused that you have
alreddy been in touch with him in regard to his Central Medical
School, which is a fascinating place, In fact, I would be grate=-
ful to you for a tearmsheet of the crticle on the C/M/S which I
understood you to have published sit@few months ago. That
particular operation warants a lot of thinking, for its
besring on the tactios and objectives of medical education,

I shell be lecturing to various medical and bidlogieal groups
in Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane and (later) Adelaide; In Sycney,

I am to give a lecture courge in bacterial genetics, afd my
wife will be in charge of the lab. I will als@ be working orief-
ly with Sir MacFarlane Burnet.

Just what would you like me to do? As a Pulbright fellow, I
feel one of my johs is just to be 2 channel of in*tormation & your
publication would tie in very well with that. I will at least
keep some Bpotes on the Canberra meeting till I've heard from you;
there may be some delay in writing it up, ss we have quite a busy
schedule, and I can't always count on a free evening. But there
must be a great deal of other meiical news, vhich I would be
looking out for in any case. Do you have other correspondents
out here? The myxomatosis experiment (for the control of the
Yabbit pest) is.a remarkable study; there are also some interes-
ting developments in TB chemotherafy. Are you interested in
such spot features?

My vest! address would be c/o Prof. S. D. Rubbo; Dept. Bacteri-
ology, Melbourne University, marked ‘to forward’. Next week I
will be c/o Prof. Frank Fenner, Austral. Nat. Univ., Canberga,:
A.C.T., and the week following, c/o Prof. Skerman, Dept. Microbiol.
at University of Brisbane Medical School, Queensland.

Yours sincerely,

Professor of MENS bogsrberg.,
University of Wisconsin
