Dear Professor Lederberg:

We are one of the main educational publishers in West Germany, and at the
moment we are preparing a new edition of our textbook for German Sixth
Forms, "Britain and America", which deals with various cultural and
sociological aspects of British and American life.

In our search for material we have read the German translation of your article
"Science and Man", published in "Die Zeit” some months ago. The editors

of "Die Zeit™ have sent us your original manuscript and we would like to
imclude your article in our above-named publication which is intended for use
in education only. We, therefore, should be véry grateful if you would grant
us permission to reproduce your article as shown in the attached copy. It runs
to 1, 25 standard pages of the book which will comprise 224 pages altogether.

As we are having to work at great pressure to get our textbook out on time,
we should be most grateful if you could let us know as soon as possible whether
you will grant us your permission.

Yours sincerely,

VELHAGEN & KLASING

(Dr. Naumann)

P.S. Please could you also let us know whether your article has already been
published in English. If so, please give us the exact details of
publication.
