Dear Josh, . January 8, 1991

Frank Stahl has told me that someone in your
lab is thinking of working on some of the odd things
that have recently turned up in the whole business of
spontaneous mutation. So I am sending you our paper on
frameshifts, which is due to come out in Genetics in
March. It saves everyone a lot of time if papers are
circulated around before publication, though the custom
is not as widely observed these days as it should be. I
hope you like the paper and hope that you think that we
give adequate recognition to the power and elegance of
all the classical experiments.

Sincerely yours,

 

John Cairns
