Durrenberger Department of Microbiology Biocenter of the University of Basel Klingelbergstrasse 70 CH-4056 Basel Switzerland Dear Dr. Durrenberger: A little while ago there was a paper in J. Bacteriology by Traxler and Minkley that referred to your work on thin section electron microscopy of mating pairs of E. coli. I have not so far seen this in print; and I wonder if you could either tell me of your observations or point me to the pub- lication or perhaps send me a reprint thereof. For any of the above I would be most grateful. Please give my best regards to Dr. Kellenberger. Yours sincerely, JOshua Lederberg / Encl. j2249 bee: E.G. Minkley
