Dear Josh:

Alec Bearn and I are now planning Volume X of Progress in
Medical Genetics, a series which we have been editing for a number
of years, We very much hope that you will agree to write a chapter
for us on the future of human genetics, This is a field in which I
know you have had considerable personal interest, and one to which
you have most certainly made highly original contributions,

We do not set an upper limit on the length of the chapters,
because we believe the authors are best qualified to judge the amount
of space they require to express their ideas, If you have read pre-
vious volumes, you will recognize that we are primarily interested
in critical reviews, rather than in merely a cataloguing of recent
papers.

  

Our deadline for Volume X is 15 January 1973. Ve would
like to have three copies of the manuscript by then, Authors will,
of course, receive a copy of the Volume, and may purchase at cost
as many reprints of their chapters as they wish.

It would give me enormous pleasure if I were able to persuade
you to contribute a chapter. I look forward to hearing from you soon,
Dr. Lederberg -2- 23 March 1972

and will hope for a favorable verdict. It goes without saying, of
course, that should you wish to write the article in collaboration

with one or more of your colleagues, we should be delighted to
receive them as co-authors,

With kindest best wishes, Iam

Sincerely yours,

Arthur G. Steinberg
