Dear Dr. Lederberg:

As you will see from the letterhead, I have moved recently, a reason
for prolonged silence. In the meantime I have done a fair amount of
spadework concerning a tissue culture bank of endangered species. I
am amaged how relatively little true enthusiasm (with any follow-through)

I have met.

Dr. Benson though shares my concern and I hope that his interest will

see the matter through the initial rough spots. The enclosed will give
you a picture of where matters stand. I believe this zoo would be an
ideal place for such a repository. If and when I need your vocal support

I hope that I can call on you. \ a

Sincgrely, yours,
