Y, I am exceedingly pleased to have your confirmation concerning the paper you wish to present. I think that the problem of the talc pneumoconioses is very topical at present. I have a most complicated biopsy specimen which will no doubt lead to further medical-legal Issues right at this moment, and look forward with particular interest to your presentation. Though you were originally scheduled to speak at A t AO P.M. we have now been forced to move you forward to a presentation at 11:00 A.M. on February 9th, Wednesday. I hope this slight change will prove to be of no inconvenience to you. I certainly look forward to meet ing you and Dr. Messite and do hope, too, that Dr. Tabershav will be able to come. With kind regards and best wishes for the New Year, >A ~ GWHS:mem G.W.H. Schepers, M.D., D.Sc. Director - The Saranac Laboratory
