        <p>February 4, 1969<lb /><lb /><lb /><lb />Ladislav P. Novak, Ph.D.<lb />Mayo Clinic<lb />200 1st St. S. W.<lb />Rochester, Minnesota 55901<lb /><lb />Dear Ladislav:<lb /><lb />Many thanks for your note.<lb /><lb />Hoffmeister would be the right man to turn to with his<lb />interest in plastic surgery. I am trying to place a fellow<lb />over here in surgery, community of 15,000, chief of surgery<lb />(income CCA $50,000 a year), but he probably would not be in-<lb />terested with his experimental surgical background.<lb /><lb />I hope you had run the Austro-Hungarian flag at the occasion<lb />of the tragic events in Czechoslovakia.<lb /><lb />We will use the same wine (Chateaux-Nieuf du Pope). I<lb />knew that you appreciate it, as it was the summer home of the<lb />Avignen anti-pope.<lb /><lb />My mother is here now; we expect to take her to Mexico City<lb />and the Yucatan peninsula.<lb /><lb />Do visit us sometime.<lb /><lb />Love to Zdenka and all the little<lb />Zdenkas.<lb /><lb />KBA:elg Karel B. Absolon, MD.<lb /></p>
