Dear Dr. Lederberg:

I am writing to ask for your help relative to the
enclosed manuscript, "Stereoisomeric Specificity and Soil Gas
Disequilibria: Implications to Martian Life Detection",
which has been submitted for consideration for publication
in Applied Microbiology.

 

I would greatly appreciate your reviewing this manu-
script and giving your opinion as to whether it is acceptable
for publication in Applied Microbiology (review forms enclosed).

 

If you are unable to review the manuscript just return
it in the enclosed self-addressed envelope; and if possible,
suggest one or two names of persons who would be knowledgeable
in the area.

Sipgerely yours,

   

Applied Microbiology
