i.*eur Mr. ..eschbacher:
I am not at. all certain that I nave at -Land any d^cumentax-y evidence reiatii-n to the Lettering laboratory,' or to ny. activities in connection with the Laboratory, which' deserve "gatnerin.,, ^reservin'.; and or-anihin.;-." On the ether nand, I am not sure teat I do not have any suca' tilings, and I tvouict be pieaseu to visit with you and to toll you somethin:' of wnat I c;o nave. I can teli yea that I nave never kept a diary and that I must depend, to some extent, on my memory lor details - details 'which do not seen to mo to bo of importance - of ;ovei.o;;mei.iK over c years. ,,s you know, ;;o douot, ? retire;: from the directorship of tac Laboratory in 1364, naviii-C founded it ana having directed its activities unti l ivtire.-.ent.
It occurs to me, in view of the recent abruot withdrawal of the U.S. Federal Government from the financial support of certain of the activities of the Laboratory, that I might make available to the University authorities, the i-..*:as .-.ioi-L -i.at _ir.o, wnick we coveioreu at the Legiuniu;, of our wort, anu enployed in the initial' period of tr.e existence of the Laboratory (from 1529-30
io 1964). 7. hajvon to believe that there it a principle here which is veil
worth considering for the future.
With this and other ideas in mine, I should be glad.to tain with you. At present, I have no car and do not drive, having suffered some physical disability in recent years, but I continue to work c.aily in my office in the laboratory (boom 104), aim if it is not too .inconvenient for you, I would be glad to have you visit me.
Cordially,
