Re: Lawvere on probability distributions as a monad

[Jeremy Gibbons <jeremy.gibbons@cs.ox.ac.uk>]

Dear categorists,

I finally found a copy of Lawvere's 1962 preprint, thanks to the assistance of Kirk Sturtz. I'd like to thank you all for your help in locating it.

For the record, there is apparently a photocopy of it in Gian-Carlo Rota's papers in the American Institute of Mathematics library:

Kirk kindly sent me a scanned copy of this photocopy (with Kirk's own annotations).

Cheers,
Jeremy
