    523 West Sixth Street

    Los Angeles 14, California

    Dear Mr. Mudd:

    I thank you for your kind letter of congratulation of 23 November, and also for the congratulations that you delivered in person yesterday.

    I want again to say that I feel that the California Institute of Technology and its Board of Trustees, through providing here an atmosphere, second to none in the world, that is favorable to research, deserves a great deal of the credit for the award that has been made to me personally.

    Sincerely yours,
