Dear Jim:

Dave Skaar just came back from the Symposium. From the tenor of some of
his report, it seemed to me just possible that you never received my reply
(dated March 18) to your ms. and letter of the 13th. This might account for
the fact (zether puzzling to me) that you never had replied to any of my
questions, either in the paper or in your subsequent brief note.

If you will let me know your current address » I will send you a copy of
my carbon of this letter. It is rather dated now, having been addressed to
your ms. at that time. I would say the evidence now is quite conclusive that
the elimination (of Mal-S) is post-zygotic, and that the hypothesis of a
pre=zygotic elimination as well (i.e. incomplete gametes) is supererogatory.

I am sending copies of this to various addresses in hopes of reaching you.

Yours singerely,
BREE Lederberg
