Dear Josh,

Will you grant permission for me to use your article,
“Experimental Genetics and Human Evolution” in a book of
readings that I have just prepared?

The book, “Readings in Heredity & Development” is a
companion volume for my “Heredity & Development", which I
have just revised. Both will be published by Oxford Unive
ersity Press,

You will find enclosed a xermx of the proposed table
of contents. If you are familiar with other anthologies of
papers in these fields, you will note that mine will not be
in competition -- at least it will not duplicate what is now
available. In contrast to the other anthologies known to me,
mine will not include the fundamental data papers but will a
be concerned with the general papers of some of the "greats". *
For example, Morgan (CHapter 5) is represented by his .
Croonian Lecture and hiS address to the Ithaca congress. His =
experiments are treated at length in"Heredity & Development". 7

I Hope that you will let me use your paper. If so, I will
then contact the publisher toask his permission. “lo

I am sure that Betty would join me in sending our best were .
she here; she is in Quito today, mr en route to the Galapagos 5
for a short trip. &kmmek Since I have not been liberated, my
fate is to stay home to water the plants and nurture my
students.

Sincerely yours,

John A. Moore
