fri M.R.C, Unit. 181 h November, 1959. Dear Dr. Lehnisager, It was indeed very nice of you 'to propose me as Herter Lecturer, and I have just written to Dr. Eisenhower accepting the invitation. As to dates, I have a tentative engagement here for 1st February, but this could be altered if necessary. If it is convenient to you I would prefer ^ pex'iod in January. I would suprest that I come for one week, and give perhaps three lectures in the general field of molecular genetics, nucleic acids and proteins. Before deciding on the details it would help me if you could let me know a little more about the audience, and also any feelings you may have about the topics or the level of treatment. I had in mind a presentation, suitable for a fairly general audience, in which Î try to display eome of the fundamental biological problems (ratber than medical problems) from the point of view of molecular structure. With best wishes, Yours sincerely, F.H.C. Crick. Dr. Albe t L. Lehninger, The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore 18, U rylar.à, U. P.A .
