Dear Dr. Lederberg:

You were indeed kind to send me the notes following
up on our previous conversations.

I was particularly interested in Dr. Graham Purchase's
remarks which I shall pass on to our scientific associates. It is
particularly relevant that we identified Dr. Schoffner at the University
of Minnesota as being involved in embryo transplant work.

There is not a great deal to report on additional
contacts. I have been to Cornell to meet with the Boyce Thompson
Institute and the agricultural faculty. Frank Cherms has been trying
to contact Dr. Schoffner and I believe that Fred Schultz continues to
press for contacts at Davis. To date I do not think we have had any
good leads at Stanford, .

We are pointing towards conclusions by the end of June
and I will certainly will be back to you as we go along.

Best regards.

we

Sincere ty,

J
