    Professor W. Beer mann, Max Planck Institut für Biologie, 74 Tubingen, Spemanstrasse 38, W. GERMANY Dear Professor Beermann, This is to confirm our telephone conversation of last week. I am booked to arrive at Stuttgart at 18.10 on Wednesday, 3rd November, on Flight No. BE646, and to leave at 18. 45 on Friday, 5th November, on Flight No. BE647. 1 would be most grateful if yuu could arrange accommodation for me for the nights of the 3rd find 4th November. If your nice guest house is full, I would be quite happy in a hotel. There is no need to worry about my expenses as I have my own funds. I suggest we spend the visit in relaxed, informal discussions with the small group of you who are closely concerned with the problem. I certainly don't wish to give a general lecture at this stage (at Nice 1 was bullied into saying something). So that I am not too ignorant when I arrive I would be happy to read any published papers in English you may suggest. I have the paper of yours in Cell Differentiation and Morphogenesis which I quoted and also another one I have just noticed in Heritage from Mendel. I have also read a review by Pelling (P. R. S., B. 1966, 164 , 259), but 1 feel there are probably other ones Ï ought to study before I visit you. 1 am writing briefly to Professor Reichardt to explain that I would rather nofc visit them scientifically on this occasion though it would be nice to meet them socially. Greatly looking forward to my trip, Yours sincerely, F.H.C. Crick
