Dear Dr.Moschcowitz:
Your letter dated February 25 [1952] finally reached me by the devious route: St. Paul-Minneapolis-Oxford-Naples-Oxford. We are just back from a month’s work at Naples and expect to spend May doing research in Madrid.
It is with pleasure that I feel able to accept the invitation to deliver a lecture at the Mount Sinai Hospital in the coming winter. Something to do with atherosclerosis would appeal to me as suitable for the topic and the title might be: Atherosclerosis, a Problem in a Newer Public Health.”
. . . During the current year I am on Sabbatical leave with a Fulbright Senior Research Award, attached to Magdalen College, Oxford.
Sincerely yours,
Ancel Keys
