Dear Professor Lederberg,

You will find my note on carboninonoxide metabolism on page 876
of the February 28th edition of Nature. This was published with
extraordinary speed - six weeks. Unfortunately the journal
chose to make certain editorial revisions and then did not give
us the time to correct these in proof. The reference to your
work in particular has been partially omitted and disturbed,

and now looks quite confusing. Well perhaps it is not too bad,
but in any case my apologies.
