Dear Doctor Gajdusek: 
On January 7, 1972 I wrote you about the trip on the Alpha/Helix that you 
will be taking in the latter part of this year. I asked you if you had room for 
another neurological hand to help in your investigations. 
As I mentioned in my previous letter, I was a physician on the Alpha/Helix 
last year during their expedition to the Marshall Islands and have previously 
worked as a neurological consultant in Western Samoa and have visited Fiji, New 
Caledonia and medical schools in Australia. 
I would appreciate hearing from you regarding any possibility of your 
needing another investigator. I am board certified in both adult and pediatric 
neurology. 
Very sincerely yours, 
William W. Anderson, M.D.
