They asked me to say to you that the arrange ment you suggest meets everything they could desire, and they think it very generous of you to be silling to do this.. I understand, of course, that you wish to defer final decision until Dr. Lanza's return, and I shall hope to hear further from you at that time. What ve need is Dr. Lanza's great reputation and organizing ability, and I am sure that half-time service will give us every thing that we need. Cordially yours.
