Thanks very much indced for your letter of December 6 with the two checks enclosed. I wmil-have acknowledged these sooner but h.i hopei that I might catch you In weshington and do it there. To the best of my.knowlodge and belief from the records here, these checks brirg my personal account up to date and we can, as it were, "start afresh".

I think that your decision not to ash or to go under contrect is r good one. i en sure that they can Cive their aivice frem time to tine: quite as effectively on an iuformal tasis and I would not see any necessily of further formalizing it unless there is reed Sron your stanipoint. I have not yet heard again fror and I am afraid thet we may be in fcr some trouble on this since there is some indication thet he may romain on the West, Coast permenently. Here arain I vould suggest that we keen the contsct informal and exploit it when, as, and if the need arises and it seems practicable to do so.

I an Locking forarli to seeing you soon either in wohington or here. I expcct to be out f the city until the first of January so I sucpect this will have to be delayed until the New Ycar.

with all good wishes for a grand Holiday Secson, I am

Tusested that the enclosed prosrectus of the Fourth Annuai AIEE Ccnferonce on Electronic Instrmmontation and Nucleonics in Medicine to te held at the Hotel Canncdore, lievYork, Jamuery 7 nnd 9 mey contain some interestine features.
