I am sure you will be pleased to learn that i have had a letter from the Offlce of Naval Research ladicatinc their.intentlan. to support my research program durins the coming fiscal year. The contract, of course, still remains to be negotiated. Since thls may reguire some time, the National lastitute of Mental Health tatends to handle the matter by Inereasing my régular allotment until the funds do become ayailable. At that time my regular allotment wilt be decreased below its usual level In order to bring Faings tnto balance.

·I am feelina rather isolated here and am wondering if clearances have been obtalned on Drs. Wlkler and Fraser. I would like to begin discusslon of pians with them. I am also wonderlng when I can look farward to a visit from Mr. Abramson.

Very sincerely,
