Dear Frank:

In going over the notes of our conversation, I recall that
you said that you had seen the actual tubes, and then I jokingly
asked you if anyone had taken a picture of them. Well, of course
not; but failing that, would you be able to do anything as trite
as to make your own sketch of what you actually saw at the time,
and let me have that as at least one contribution to the reminis-—
cence that I am trying to worm out of you? I don't know whether
your recollection can be a good guide, possibly being contaminated
by so many later experiences, but I have to let you be the judge

of that. I just have to remind you that you were there, and not
many others can be found who were!

Sincerely yours,

Jcshua Lederberg
Professor of Genetics
