Dear Mr. Danzig,

I'm sorry to be so long in answering your letter of

July 29th. As you will. see from the return address, I am
presently on sabbatical leave in Israel and it takes a while
for the mail to catch up with me.

Thank you for your interest in the work in my laboratory.

Unfortunately, matters are quite wsettled now with regard to
the situation upon mv return in the fall of 1972, particularly
because I am uncertajLn as t~ the Pine of research I ahall pursue.
The decision will depend somewhat on the experiance of this year.
Furthermore, the availability of space and money will depend
somewhat on the success of the, present post-doctoral fellows in
the uncertain job market.

If, under these conditione, you are still interested in

behg considered, I would be happy to do so. Please then request
Professor Shapiro to send a le-ktetr of recommendation to me here
in Israel. I will then contact you as soon as there is adklitioaal

information. \

   Please extend my regards to Professor Shapiro who 14ad
the pleasure of meeting tjnis summer at a Gordon Resenrcbtdnference.

Sincerely yoars,

Maxine Singer
